Gamma Sigma Treasurer Chelsea Germer was a pledge around the time a fire destroyed its headquarters — the blue house on 19 Union St. There since 1847, the house is home to the co-educational fraternity.

Even though the house was gone, she felt everything for which it stood stayed intact.

“The house represents acceptance and being able to coexist with people no matter who they are in order to succeed with the help of others,” said Germer, a School of Arts and Sciences junior.

After renovations and reconstruction following a fire that consumed the house last March, the Gamma Sigma fraternity house will reopen its doors in December to continue the doctrines of the fraternity, said JacobGerard Dela Torre, president of the fraternity.

“There is a statewide system where we can pull up the signature that is on their voter file and determine if the signatures match and that person actually signed it,” he said.

Although the city found many of the signatures to be invalid, there are some who are challenging the results.

Frederic DiMaria, Jr., chairman of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws in New Jersey, expressed his unhappiness with the city after their results were released.

“We handed our petition in with more than 1,500 signatures. They only needed 627.

The University’s Office of Information Technology is approaching a transition from the school’s student Eden e-mail accounts to Google’s Gmail.

“The Google Apps for Education suite offers outstanding communication and collaboration tools that can enrich the university experience for faculty and students,” said Office of Information Technology Associate Director Keri Budnovitch in an e-mail correspondence.

The OIT already launched a trial of Gmail for students.

OIT is searching for students interested in this beta test, according to its website.

The test is not yet completed, but the University appears to be moving quickly toward implementing Gmail.

Some groups at the University already successfully used these tools and OIT, recognizing the potential benefits of a University-wide implementation, decided to undertake a multi-phase, multi-year project to transition students to Google Apps for Education, Budnovitch said.

If adopted, Rutgers will join the ranks of other colleges and universities, including Brown University and Villanova University, to convert student e-mail to Gmail, according to the schools’ student newspapers.

But some universities have rejected their plans to migrate to Google’s educational services.

Yale University postponed its migration in March after several faculty members and administrators reportedly expressed reservations about Google’s ability to protect students’ privacy, according to Yale Daily News.

A month after Yale’s decision to cancel the move, Peter Siegel, vice provost for information educational technology at the University of California-Davis, announced ending plans to

City rejects petition to reclassify marijuana

BY DEVIN SIKORSKI ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The city of New Brunswick rejected a petition to classify marijuana possession as a low-priority last Wednesday, taking the thousands of city residents who signed the petition back to square one.

Classifying marijuana possession as lowpriority would make the arrests for possession of the drug the police department’s lowest priority.

The measure would also mandate law enforcement to track demographic figures for each marijuana arrest and issue a supplemental report within 30 days of an arrest detailing why the officer arrested

the individual in spite of the offense’s status as a low priority.

City spokesman Bill Bray said the city council rejected the petition because the committee of petitioners did not submit the right amount of signatures to extend the proposed ordinance.

“After the review of the petition’s papers, it did not have the required number of signatures to move the issue forward,” he said.

“They submitted 1,681 signatures of which only 617 were determined to be valid.”

He said in order for the signature to be considered valid, it must be from a registered voter from New Brunswick and must match the signature on their voter registration form.

Candidate expresses ideas for IWL future

BY ANDREW SMITH CONTRIBUTING WRITER

As a candidate for director of the Institute for Women’s Leadership, Paula Giddings, a professor in Afro-American Studies at Smith College, expressed her plans and goals Tuesday in the Ruth Dill Johnson Crockett Building on Douglass campus. “[The institute] has such exciting potential,” Giddings said. “I love the idea of a culture that talks about not only academics but applied academics to persons on the outside, and I think this is just a wonderful moment to do a lot of interesting advocacy and thinktank ideas.”

Giddings is the first of three candidates to speak at talks hosted this month by the IWL, a women’s education and advancement consortium on campus. These events

give an opportunity for staff and students to meet the candidates.

Founding director Mary Hartman retired in December 2009, leaving the institute without anyone to occupy the position full time.

The institute has been accepting applications for the position since then, hoping to find someone dedicated to the advancement of women and qualified enough to use the tools provided by the consortium to make a substantial difference, according to the IWL’s application website.

In her speech, Giddings said it was important that the institute’s footprint becomes larger and that people inside and outside the University realize its significance.

“I would be happy if the IWL met it’s potential — which is tremendous — of being a model for the engagement of important issues and also of

U. STUDY REPORTS NJ NEWSPAPER ELECTION COVERAGE LACKS VARIETY The University’s Eagleton Institute of Politics released a study revealing newspapers’ coverage of the 2009 and 2005 N.J. gubernatorial and state legislative campaigns. According to the results, newspapers covered the gubernatorial races well but gave little attention to the legislative races.

Ingrid Reed, former director of the Institute’s New Jersey Project, and two graduate assistants, David Andersen and Vanessa Matthews, studied the coverage of five daily papers about 30 days before the elections — specifically looking at how much information readers could absorb in both the papers’ print and online versions.

During this time, these papers — The Star-Ledger, The Times of Trenton, Asbury Park Press, Homes News Tribune and Herald News — featured about one and one-half election articles with photos a day.

Their study showed the coverage focused on what the gubernatorial candidates were saying and doing while campaigning, yet readers were unable to get much detailed analysis. There were few articles on the candidates’ debates and little graphical analysis to compare the candidates for readers.

But the state’s legislatives races were poorly covered — there were no standard stories unless an unusual circumstance occurred, according to the study.

“News about legislative races may be difficult to fit in a newspaper’s news agenda,” according to the study. “These campaigns are seen as too regional to be considered local coverage and too local for newspapers interested in news that appeals to a region. Debates are rare in legislative races, so even this traditional source of news about campaigns was absent.”

According to the study, the results reveal that the change in the nature of newspaper journalism from print to online could cause N.J. citizens to seek other sources for detailed campaign news and analysis.

NJPIRG advocates voter registration

BY DENNIS COMELLA STAFF WRITER

Election time is approaching, and that means it is time for students to start registering to vote.

The New Jersey Public Interest Research Group Student Chapters is leading the New Voters Project, aimed at registering University students to vote for November’s U.S. congressional elections. The Rutgers University Student Assembly and the Eagleton Institute of Politics are also working to get young people to the polls.

“If we all vote, no matter who we vote for, it’s going to show that we do care and that we’re important,” said NJPIRG member Sophia Fishbane. “[It will show that] it’s time to take us seriously and take our votes seriously.”

The organizations would like to see at least 3,000 students registered, she said.

“Of course we want more,” Fishbane said. “We want every student registered to vote.”

At the University’s student involvement fair at the start of the semester, NJPIRG helped register more than 250 students, said Fishbane, a School of Arts and Sciences senior.

The youth turnout in the last presidential election created high hopes for midterm election participation, she said.

“The reason we believe so strongly in [our goal] is because,

in 2008, students really showed up to the polls and made their presence known,” she said.

To get the word out, NJPIRG plans to set up tables around the campuses and visit residence halls in the coming weeks, Fishbane said.

Having NJPIRG members approach students is an effective technique, School of Arts and Sciences senior Stefany Cisneros said.

“Sometimes you’re doing so much stuff and you just forget, but if they come to you [door-to-door] and you register it’s much easier,” said Cisneros, who in the past registered with the organization.

Student government organization RUSA registered 8,000 students over the past three years and reminded 30,000 students to go vote on Election Day, RUSA Vice President Matt Cordeiro said.

“RUSA is the vehicle [through] which students can create change at the University,” said Cordeiro, a School of Arts and Sciences junior.

The Eagleton Institute of Politics is also making it a goal to create political awareness among University students.

“We welcome students to come in and get involved in practical politics instead of just seeing or hearing about it,” said Bobby Irven, an intern at Eagleton.

Eagleton is working with NJPIRG on the RU Voting Coalition to educate students

about the advantages of voting and getting students into voting booths, said Irven, a School of Arts and Sciences senior.

Eagleton is also involved in RU Ready, a program aimed at high school students who will soon enter the voting population.

“The program’s mission is to provide young people with encouragement and practical advice to enable them to participate actively in the civic life of New Brunswick,” according to Eagleton’s website.

But the effort is not just limited to the city, Fishbane said. The end goal is to get 10,000 students statewide registered to vote about issues they care about.

“We are totally bipartisan, so we aren’t in favor of anything, but we just want to get students to go out and get their voices out,” she said.

Cisneros agreed that voting is important for students.

“Everyone should have a say in it and want to vote because it’s for them,” she said.

Since NJPIRG is student-run and student-funded, student involvement is key, Fishbane said. Simply supporting NJPIRG on the term bill makes a difference, she said.

“We really need to make sure that people are supporting us,” Fishbane said.

Students who want to register to vote can go to studentvote.org or sign up through an NJPIRG representative on campus through Oct. 12, she said.

CANDIDATE: IWL still awaits speeches of two others continued from front transforming those issues into policy and into something that impacts women’s lives,” Giddings said.

On top of these goals, Giddings also stressed the importance of securing funding primarily within the University and from outside sources as well.

FUTURE: Members say electrical problems cause fire continued from front “I am definitely excited for the reopening of the house,” said Dela Torre, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. “There are a couple of pledge classes who haven’t seen what Gamma means to me. Part of that is seeing what life is like in the house. It’s kind of like a rebirth.”

The house is just the latest in many changes for the organization.

Gamma Sigma became a coeducational fraternity before the University even accepted women in 1971, Dela Torre said.

The fraternity also defied the conventional standards of the time, by being the first to accept black and Jewish members, he said.

“Back then after World War II, the only people in fraternities were people of higher classes,” Dela Torre said. “If you weren’t prim and proper, you had no place being in a fraternity.”

Morale among fraternity members was low after the fire, but seeing work being done raised their spirits, he said.

Though the fire put a burden on fraternity members to find new housing, the members felt an even greater, more sentimental loss.

“It was traumatic to see the house I pledged get destroyed, but more so, everything our house stands for,” Dela Torre said. “It was definitely a hard time.”

An electrical fire on the third floor damaged the Gamma Sigma house, Dela Torre said.

“Our house was built in the 1840s and because of all the outlets being used, it was only a matter of time, the firemen told us,” he said.

In the attempt to stop the fire from spreading, water damage destroyed part of the house, Dela Torre said.

Although she was not able to put forward a specific plan for securing such resources, some in the crowd were sympathetic to such financial difficulty.

Natalie Batmanian, associate director of the Office for the Promotion of Women in Science, Engineering and Mathematics, understood Giddings’ financial stance but was still concerned.

“Fundraising seems to be what is stressing all of the units,” Batmanian said. “There aren’t

many sources of funds … there aren’t enough federal funds, which means we also need to turn toward private foundations.”

Despite this reservation, there was excitement regarding Giddings’ plan for the IWL. “Paula brings a tremendous perspective on women’s education and leadership. … I think she is — as we can tell by her talk — inspiring, intellectually exciting, thoughtful and also a wonderful presence,” said Lisa

Hetfield, associate director at the institute, who is serving as interim director.

Hetfield said Giddings would be an exciting leader to take the institute to the next level of work, visibility and prominence.

“I think that now, after Mary’s leadership, the next thing we’ll need is someone to take up the vision and build on the strengths, and add,” Hetfield said.

The institute was founded in 1991 by Mary Hartman, Ruth

Mandel, Alice Kessler-Harris, Carol Smith and Charlotte Bunch, all prominent figures in the framework of Douglass College, according to the institute’s website.

Other than Giddings, Rachael N. Pine, executive vice president and director of Programs at Legal Momentum, and Janet Rodriguez, former vice president of JPMorgan Chase Global Philanthropy, are also scheduled Sept. 13 and Sept. 20, respectively, to speak.

“Since the fire department wanted to make sure the entire fire was put out, the firemen completely soaked the third floor,” he said.

The fire displaced many students, Dela Torre said.

“It was the night before school was supposed to resume,” he said. “I was going crazy and I felt homeless.”

Many students resor ted to commuting and lived in of fcampus residences, Dela Torre said.

“It was as if you were given a space in parking in a lot with a permit. Then someone just took away your permit and your car,” he said. “What do you do next?”

During the year and a half when the Gamma Sigma brothers did not have their home, they faced many challenges.

“It was difficult to plan a pledging semester,” said Sergio Rodriguez, Gamma Sigma’s secretary. “The house is the central meeting place. Since we’re not a Rutgers affiliated organization, Rutgers charges you to use areas. We don’t have money coming in and there were a lot of costs involved. The financial setbacks were the strongest.”

Gamma Sigma will no longer have to encounter these issues, and members expressed their excitement for the reopening of their fraternity home.

“Everyone wants it so much.

It’s going to be the biggest change in the world,” said Rodriguez, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. “It wouldn’t seem like it to outside people, but we work so hard to keep something like this going.

When you lose something like that it takes a hit.”

Germer agreed that while the members have had the odds against them, the time for a comeback has arrived.

“It hasn’t been easy for us,” she said. “But it is definitely worth it.”

MARIJUANA: City

initiative, and I personally worked on it,” he said. “The ordinance was mostly drafted by myself.”

He said there are many reasons why the city should give low priority to marijuana possession, which include economical and social benefits.

“From the economic perspective, it is a tremendous waste of money and resources for a city such as New Brunswick to make marijuana arrests,” he said. “It wastes a tremendous amount of police resources which could be better utilized in combating violent crimes and more serious crime.”

Some University students agree with DiMaria, saying it could be useful for New Brunswick police to focus on more serious crimes.

“It gives [police] more time to go around protecting people from violent crimes rather than confiscating marijuana,” said Rob Kimball, a School of Arts and Sciences junior.

But City Council President Elizabeth Garlatti does not agree with this statement.

Garlatti, in a Jan. 25 article on mycentraljersey.com, said she does not think it is right to tell the New Brunswick police what they should consider a priority.

“I’m always reluctant to legislate priorities for the city’s professionals,” she said in the article. “There’s a police director and he does a great job. Why should I feel like I should be telling him how to do it?”

Still, DiMaria said marijuana possession must be considered low priority in the city, repeating the economic benefits for New Brunswick.

“I think in other cities where the low-priority initiatives have been successful, it has showed great success in eliminating the economic waste by not arresting marijuana smokers,” he said.

DiMaria is in the process of challenging the city’s analysis of the petition and will take it as far as he needs.

“I can tell you that if we can’t work it out with them, our first step would be to file in superior court and attempt to force them to certify the petition,” he said.

council disagrees with petition continued from front lot of the people that signed the petition,” he said. “But we certainly disagree with their count.”

DiMaria said NORML-NJ made sure the signatures handed in with the petition were valid before they submitted it and were shocked to find so many eliminated.

“We feel that they disqualified too many of those signatures. We very carefully checked all the signatures, and we compared those signatures to the voter registration list,” he said. “We know we handed that petition in with many more valid signatures than what they claim were valid.”

The effort to bring a low-priority classification for marijuana possession in the city is of great significance, DiMaria said.

“I think it is an extremely worthwhile effort. Obviously, NORML-NJ was supporting the

GMAIL: Google switch would save money in long run continued from front outsource the university’s faculty e-mail to Google, according to that office’s website.

They cited concerns about the safety and security of its international students and faculty, possible censorship of international correspondence by repressive governments, and the risks associated with moving internal university business records to an outside agency.

Shawn Yang, a second-year University graduate student, weighed the problem of censorship against the usefulness of Gmail.

“Maybe in China the government could block some of the functions,” said Yang, a Chinese citizen. “But as long as we have more function and more convenience, I think it is okay to use Gmail.”

The question of network security is vital to the protection

of information related to University research, said Tom Vosseler, director of information technology for the School of Arts and Sciences.

“I don’t think there’ll ever be a situation where a university will be able to give up entirely running its own e-mail systems,” Vosseler said.

“There are going to be security requirements, and unless Google was certified to do that stuff, we wouldn’t be able to put e-mail on those systems for those people.”

The move to Gmail would offer significant savings to the University, he said.

“It’s right on their terms page.

Google offers Gmail to education for free,” Vosseler said.

Going to Google would allow the University to run less ser vers dedicated to hosting Eden, he said.

“The staff to maintain those servers would be less because we would be working with Google’s system,” Vosseler said. “We wouldn’t have to update the software. We wouldn’t have to buy additional disk space.”

The cost of additional bandwidth may be an initial burden to the University, but Vosseler said it would save money in the long run.

Internet-savvy students know that Eden does allow for the for warding of e-mail to any e-mail ser vice they would rather use, but the constant for warding of e-mails presents problems, he said.

“Having people forward messages from one e-mail system to another increases the chances that they will be tagged as spammers,” Vosseler said. “Plus, I can think of 30 other things that can go wrong with that.”

In the spring of 2011, phase two of the beta will focus on integrating the Google Apps suite of collaboration tools into other OIT ser vices and working with faculty to effectively use these tools in the classroom, Budnovitch said.

Incoming and transfer students for fall 2011 will be encouraged to create Rutgers Gmail accounts, she said.

Farmer, Jr. “It will give students and attorneys the chance to fully immerse themselves in an important and emerging area of the law and in fieldwork which will solidify that training for our students.”

Although the partnership was originally offered only to Seton Hall Law School, it

extended to Rutgers–Newark law students and prosecutors throughout the state as well as agents of the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security, according to a University media relations press release.

The University’s law school will offer a seminar star ting in spring 2011 on cybercrimes.

“Cybercrime is a local, national and international problem of the first priority,” said Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli in a statement. “Damages amount to billions of dollars, threatening national and state security with economic and terroristic threats to medical and personal privacy, and predation upon the young and defenseless.”

Aside from the courses on cybersecurity law and computer crimes practice, the program includes a conference in spring 2011 that will be free to legal and academic communities, according to the release. A portal website will ser ve as an up-to-date electronic compilation of applicable state and federal law and regulations.

“We need to work together to ensure the collective safety and privacy of our citizens — and to assure the continued expertise of our security professionals, attorneys and future attorneys,” Molinelli said. “This program will help make that happen.”

Church plans on burning Quran ASSOCIATED PRESS GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The government turned up the pressure Tuesday on the head of a small Florida church who plans to burn copies of the Quran on Sept.

11, warning him that doing so could endanger U.S. troops and Americans everywhere.

But the Rev. Terry Jones insisted he would go ahead with his plans, despite criticism from the top U.S. general in Afghanistan, the White House and the State Department, as well as a host of religious leaders.

Jones, who is known for posting signs proclaiming that Islam is the devil’s religion, says the Constitution gives him the right to publicly set fire to the book that Muslims consider the word of God. Gen. David Petraeus warned Tuesday in an e-mail to The Associated Press that “images of the burning of a Quran would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan — and around the world — to inflame public opinion and incite violence.” It was a rare example of a military commander taking a position on a domestic political matter.

Jones responded that he is also concerned but is “wondering, ‘When do we stop?’” He refused to cancel the protest set for Saturday at his Dove World Outreach Center, a church that espouses an anti-Islam philosophy.

“How much do we back down?

How many times do we back down?” Jones told the AP. “Instead of us backing down, maybe it’s time to stand up. Maybe it’s time to send a message to radical Islam that we will not tolerate their behavior.”

Still, Jones said he will pray about his decision.

State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the administration hoped Americans would stand up and condemn the church’s plan.

“We think that these are provocative acts,” Crowley said.

“We would like to see more Americans stand up and say that this is inconsistent with our American values; in fact, these actions themselves are un-American.”

Meeting Tuesday with religious leaders to discuss recent attacks on Muslims and mosques around the U.S., Attorney General Eric Holder called the planned burning both idiotic and dangerous, according to a Justice Department official. The official requested anonymity because the meeting was private.

Crowley said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton may address the controversy at a dinner Tuesday evening in observance of Iftar, the breaking of the daily fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The Quran, according to Jones, is “evil” because it espouses something other than biblical truth and incites radical, violent behavior among Muslims.

“It’s hard for people to believe, but we actually feel this is a message that we have been called to bring forth,” he said last week.

“And because of that, we do not feel like we can back down.”

L bus cut necessary

B

efore getting the ax, the L bus made the trip from Livingston campus to the College Avenue campus through Highland Park. The route allowed students who live or park for free in the satellite town to ride the bus to the University’s campuses. The L bus was the least used among all routes, therefore the Department of Transportation Services eliminated it — and rightly so.

Students would get much more out of an extra bus or two between the main campuses. Instead of maintaining a barely used bus route, University officials can now concentrate on improving these aspects of transportation. The crowded buses between campuses now have the opportunity of being avoided with more vehicles on the busiest routes.

The majority of students who will be disadvantaged by the cancellation are graduate students. Although they have just as much a right to be provided with sufficient transport, they already have cars and should pay for parking like the rest of the University population. The L bus was also never meant to service students who parked in Highland Park for free and kept their cars there until the end of the school day. Budget cuts have come, and those people got the rough end of the deal.

After all the commotion, the University gave students a substitute bus — the LXc — instead of leaving us with no choice at all. Saving money is this institution’s priority at the moment, and that is exactly what is happening. The University has upgraded lecture halls and classrooms across all campuses and one bus route’s cancellation should not be much of a trade-off. Students will make do with the resulting bus routes and in a few months at most, they will agree to pay the needed fee to park in University parking lots just like the rest of us.

e as a nation are ignorant. All that is learned at an early age seems to be kept in our minds without fault and without care for the ever-changing world. A small Florida church is planning on holding a Quran burning on Sept. 11 with the message that the book “is filled with lies.” According to The New York Times, Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top American commander in Afghanistan, spoke out against the plans with the warning that they could play into the hands of the very extremists whom the church is targeting.

Petraeus has the right idea.

The message that this one ignorant group sends out will undoubtedly threaten U.S. troops thousands of miles away in Afghanistan. The Florida church creates a notion of ignorance that engulfs us all. It sends out the idea that we have no reverence for any religion that does not fit the American model.

An example of such fallacies was 2005’s violent and lethal riots that were set off around the world by a mistaken report by Newsweek. The report stated that a Pentagon investigation found that military interrogators of detainees at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, tried to flush a Quran down a toilet.

Ultimately this church seems as hateful and as violent as the people they are targeting. In the United States, we preach acceptance and equality, yet when it comes time to test these virtues, we mostly seem to fail.

Christie acts as needed

G

ov. Chris Christie announced his plans to implement a series of reforms targeting conflicts of interest in state government and changes to ethics law, public pensions and regulations on how many public salaries a person can earn, according to The StarLedger. Here is a man who does what is necessary.

“This is the job I got hired to do,” Christie says in a video on the www.state.nj.us website. “I am not going to back off what I promised to do. That’s my covenant with the people of this state.”

These initiatives seek to curtail the practice of public affairs officials receiving multiple government salaries. The governor said the current ban on officials holding two elected positions must be extended to include those whose positions are appointed. Those who oppose these basic changes attack the governor because one way or another, it will cost them money.

Christie expressed the need for the Democratically-controlled legislature to enact the measures by the time lawmakers break for Christmas.

The specifics are not clear yet, but if Christie does ever ything as he presented it to the public, the state of New Jersey will be in a better condition than it was this time last year. Reforms are needed especially in the state government sector. And while there will always be those who oppose what is best for the state, government reforms must go through. Christie is simply targeting that which upsets people’s wallets the most. Nonetheless, change is needed, and our governor is on the right path to bringing it.

think our midfielders were just kind of running around with their heads cut off and not thinking about what we were trying to do,” Donigan said. “It’s not going to get any easier for us. We are going to have teams coming in here that would love nothing more than to beat Rutgers at Rutgers.”

For Donigan, the philosophies are going to stay the same from the loss to Lehigh as the team

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The start of the fall semester brings expectations for students, athletes and professors alike, as the sumCROSS COUNTRY mer heat gives way to the autumn breeze.

The Rutgers men’s cross country team is no exception to this rule, and the squad is entering the season with significant expectations.

Head coach Mike Mulqueen will be hard-pressed to replace the graduating seniors who left a significant mark on the team during their time at Rutgers.

One of those departed seniors is Simon Gordonov, who excelled both athletically and academically. He was a consistent top five scorer for the Scarlet Knights and recipient of the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship in recognition for his perfect 4.0 GPA and other scholastic achievements.

In his absence, two runners who are expected to anchor the team by providing solid performances at every meet are seniors Nick Miehe and Kevin Cronin.

Mulqueen said he expects these two to be the leaders of the cross countr y team, and that “they are looking to be in really good shape” and should be ready to contribute this season.

Miehe is the more decorated senior, having won the 2009 Metropolitan Championships, and is consistently a top three finisher on the team. Cronin placed fifth at the Metropolitan Championships and was also among the top three scorers on the Knights.

When asked about the expectations for this season, Mulqueen said he always has the same expectations at the start of a new season. He doesn’t function with predetermined goals for his team, but rather expects them to improve on the last season’s results.

With the seniors that graduated, he hopes that the mix of talented newcomers and veteran presence will allow the Knights to move up the Big East and NCAA regional rankings.

“The goal of every year is to try to be better than the year before,” Mulqueen said.

The first challenge for the Knights comes Saturday at the Fordham Fiasco & Follies meet.

“We’ve just been running a lot of offensive plays and working on getting more people in the box.

“I think our problem last game was that we were having trouble holding the ball. Also getting numbers in the box for crosses and we weren’t getting more supporting players up top.”

Salmon is also itching to get back on the playing field. The extra practices have only extended the sinking feeling of defeat, not allowing Salmon and his teammates to forget about the loss just yet.

“I definitely don’t like having all that time off,” he said.

“Especially after a bad loss like that you just want to go right into the next game and forget about the last one. Having all of that time off also meant a lot of fitness in practice and stuff like that.”

But it is during these demanding practices, under the blazing sun that reveals what teams are made of far more than an early loss. It is through adverse times like these that you can carve your own identity.

“We can either dwell on the loss, or get angry and motivated to practice better and make sure every thing is perfect,” Calafiore said.

“Basically, the whole mindset in practice and what I’ve been trying to tell the guys is that it’s not easy to win. It’s not easy to dig deep.

“It’s not easy to find the inner self that tells you to keep pushing and keep driving when your mind and your body is telling you to quit. I said that if we want to win and we want to be champions, then that is what we have to do.”

begins a five-game homestand starting Friday. It is the execution that has to improve.

“I think sometimes things just click and the light bulb goes on,” Donigan said. “We are going to continue to stick to our philosophies and play the way we want to play because we are building for this season, but we are also building for the future.

“I am very set in my ways in what is going to bring us success down the road and I’m not going to vary from that. We are going to keep pressing and pushing the same issues and hopefully things will start to turn more positive for us.”

Due to the holiday weekend, the Knights had a nine-day break between Lehigh and their home opener against Delaware. After two days off, the team hit the practice field hard with the next game seeming ages away.

“The nine days has been grueling. We had two days off, but we’ve been going hard since then,” Calafiore said. “We definitely want to get right back out there after a loss like that. We want to be playing.

Practicing just gets you thinking and realizing more that we lost and you got to be working harder to win.”

During practice, the offense worked on their crosses — both the delivery and making sure there are players inside the 18yard box to receive it.

“We pretty much have just run drills nonstop to get our attacking players going,” said junior Yannick Salmon, who registered one of the Knights’ shots on goal in the loss.

Though his status is uncertain for Florida International on Saturday night, Young will travel with the team, according to Schiano.

Young missed more than 10 team practices, so he has just three days to get back into playing shape.

“There’s no shape like football shape,” Young said. “If you spend a day off football after going hard for a while, you can feel it. It’s definitely different being back out there.”

In his stead, junior Joe Martinek handled the third-down role.

“Kordell is a great leader and it definitely benefits us when he’s here because he knows so much and he’s football smart and he knows the game and knows the offense and reads the defense so well,” Martinek said. “Every time he’s here he just teaches me new things each day. Having him here is a good thing.”

I’m not opposed to getting them both time, if the situation dictates, and it doesn’t necessarily mean we are way behind or way ahead either. It is just, I think, the situation has to dictate it.

Prior to this season, the NCAA put USC on a four-year probation, reduced the school’s scholarships and slammed a two-year bowl ban on the Pac-10 powerhouse.

Despite the rumors, the Trust calls the reports by Yahoo! Sports “inaccurate” and no final decision has been made.

RU sends experience, youth to links in ’10

BY NICHOLAS ORLANDO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

This year, the Rutgers women’s golf team is looking to build on its success from last season and WOMEN’S GOLF become a serious contender in the Big East conference.

There is a lot of experience on the team this year, as the Scarlet Knights feature two seniors, five juniors and two sophomores.

“I have two seniors: Our captain Jeanne Waters and Daley Owens,” said head coach Maura Waters-Ballard.

“Because of their talent and experience, I expect them to lead the way. They are both showing great promise in practice this week.”

Both of the seniors on the team started in each of the previous three seasons but WatersBallad noted that this season she expects Waters to make some noise.

“She is a seasoned veteran who has won events in the past and should win a few this year as well,” she said.

The highlight of last season was a victor y at the Hartford Invitational, in which sophomore Brittany Weddell took first overall with a combined score of 150 for the tournament.

The Knights followed that victor y with a sixth-place finish in the Big East Tournament to end the season.

Waters-Ballard said it is important to use last year as a building block coming into this year.

“We need to build on our success from last year,” she said.

“We had some top three finishes and a win last season, and we need to continue on that road.”

Although last season may have ended on a sour note, there is more to look forward to for the 2010 campaign with the mix of veteran leadership, like Waters, and more maturity from the youngsters, like Weddell.

With that in mind, WatersBallard wants to see more from her squad and is confident they can be better.

“I think something we can improve on is our consistency,” she said. “Last year, we always had at least one good round in a tournament. This year, I want to have two or three good rounds in a tournament.”

The Knights begin the season on Sept.11 in Lewisburg, Pa., at the Bucknell Invitational. The team then plays host at the Rutgers Invitational in October to round out the fall season and will not get another crack at the Big East Championship until April.

alongside former Knights Pete Tverdov and Westerman, he is now counted on to be “the guy” to make impact plays with the game on the line.

The stigma does not faze Silvestro, who expresses the same confidence in a defensive line ranked by Rivals.com as the nation’s 12th-best for the 2010 season.

“There’s going to be times when I’m going to be struggling, and I look to the left of me at [defensive tackle] Charlie [Noonan],” Silvestro said. “I know he’s going to be there backing me down … and it goes down the whole line. Same with [defensive tackle Scott] Vallone.

Vallone’s a great player … same with [defensive end Jonathan] Freeny — you know how Freeny can rush off the edge.”

Behind Silvestro on the depth chart is junior defensive end Justin Francis, who registered at least one tackle in nine consecutive contests last year and will push for more playing time in the defensive line rotation.

Aside from Francis, however, there is little experience on the Knights’ roster at defensive end, forcing Silvestro and Freeny into the role of teachers.

“Mainly, just getting into the film room, know what they’re doing,” said Freeny of advice the duo passed on to the younger ends. “And then once they’re comfortable with what they’re doing, that’ll give them the confidence on the field.”

15

As a freshman, Silvestro wasn’t lucky enough to merely absorb the tips of veteran linemen and replicate them with practice reps. The coaching staff thrust the 2009 Second Team AllBig East selection into a starter’s role for three games.

A year later, Silvestro moved inside to tackle only to move back to end for the 2009 season, when he posted careerhighs in tackles and tacklesfor-loss.

Now a senior, Silvestro is a key cog on a defensive line heaped with preseason praise.

“Twelfth-best is pretty good … but obviously we want to be the best,” Silvestro said. “Our goal is to win a national championship and to do that, it’s to be the best. Twelfth, I think, honestly isn’t good enough, so I think we need to play better.”

Silvestro and the rest of the defense get their next chance to expand on their opening-night performance Saturday, when the Knights take on FIU in their first road contest of the season.

In order to come out of Miami with a positive result, Schiano emphasized the play of his team’s veterans.

“We need all of our seniors to play the best football of their careers,” the 10th-year head coach said. “When you have a special year, your seniors — they play the best football of their careers.”

If history is any indication, Silvestro, who improved his tackle total from 13 to 41 to 42 during his career, is in line to live up to Schiano’s senior expectations. Silvestro, for his part, will be prepared.

Young sorts out personal issues, rejoins Knights

BY SAM HELLMAN CORRESPONDENT

THE DAILY TARGUM

Fifth-year senior running back Kordell Young rushed for 28 yards on nine carries and caught seven passes for 48 yards last season as the Knights’ third down back — the same role he will play this season after missing time with personal issues.

The Rutgers football team, particularly the running backs, got an emotional boost yesterday, when fifth-year senior Kordell Young returned to the practice field after missing more than two PRACTICE weeks because of perNOTEBOOK sonal issues.

Neither Young nor head coach Greg Schiano wanted to get into the specifics of the running back’s personal life, but following many questions Young will play for the Scarlet Knights this year.

After spending time at home in West Deptford, N.J., by his own request, Young found a way to sort out his issues.

“It’s all handled and situated now,” Young said. “Coach [Schiano] gave me a little bit of time to go back home and figure some things out back at home.”

Young, who missed parts of the past three seasons because of separate ligament repair surgeries in his knee, insists that health is not an issue and he will be able to execute his role without problems.

Young is the first to say that he isn’t the same player that he was before his multiple surgeries and injuries, but any running back or coach will tell you he’s the best third-down running back on the team and that is his role this season.

“Anything that has to do with third down, I’ll be out there doing it,” Young said about practices.

The third-down running back’s role in an offense is primarily pass blocking — picking up blitzing linebackers and safeties — but he also often goes out on hitch and screen passes, as well as draw plays.

“He helps a great deal from his experience,” Schiano said. “The reason he was the

Experience on Silvestro’s side in senior year

BY TYLER BARTO ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Last Thursday against Norfolk State, Alex Silvestro correctly diagnosed a Spartan screen play and got his hands on the football.

Unfortunately for the FOOTBALL Rutgers football team’s defensive end, he couldn’t come down with an interception like he did in last year’s season-opener against Cincinnati.

“It would have been really nice to get a pick,” Silvestro said. “It definitely hit me right in my hands, too. That was a bad one.”

Forgive Silvestro, who made the Big East Honor Roll last week with five tackles and a sack, if he pays close attention to detail.

A model of consistency during his four years at Rutgers, Silvestro owns 30 career starts at both defensive tackle and end. He learned from New York Jets linebacker Jamaal Westerman and former Scarlet Knights defensive end George Johnson.

And despite both personal and defensewide success in a 31-0 rout of Norfolk State, Silvestro noticed more than enough room for improvement in preparation for Florida International.

“Statistically, I’ll say I had a good game,” Silvestro said. “I mean, there’s been games where I thought I played a lot better than I did last game and I only had one or two tackles. Being a d-lineman, that’s kind of how it goes. [Last game] was a good starting ground, but I still made plenty of mistakes.”

Unlike his early years under head coach Greg Schiano, when Silvestro lined up

Identity in balance during extended time off

BY A.J. JANKOWSKI ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The first game of the season can tell you a lot about what type of team you are and it MEN’S SOCCER goes a long way toward developing an identity.

The Rutgers men’s soccer team hopes this adage is not the case.

In their first game of the season, the Scarlet Knights traveled to Lehigh and were beaten in every facet of the game to the tune of a 3-0 defeat.

“It was very quiet, almost like somebody had died,” said senior defender Paulie Calafiore of the bus ride home from Bethlehem, Pa. “I think everyone was too busy thinking about what went wrong and what we can do to get better and make sure we can fix everything before our next game.”

Although it was not the way that new head coach Dan Donigan wanted to kick off his career on the Banks, he believes his team showed glimpses of promise.

“I think we let an opportunity go by the wayside. We’ve only played a good 15, 20 minutes.

There were some spurts in the game where I

thought we did some good things,” the firstyear Rutgers coach said. “Good teams, on the road, you got to perform better than just a few spurts outside of the first 15 minutes.

“For me, I just think there needs to be an ego, a mentality, a psyche that you are going to battle, you are going to fight, and you are going to do whatever it takes to be competitive and come away with a positive result.”

Defensively, the Knights conceded three goals on just seven shots. On the offensive side of the ball, the team managed some early
