Rutgers University Student Assembly President Yousef Saleh addresses the public at the first meeting of the semester.

RUSA may serve as a plaintiff in a case against the state to allow voters to register on the day of election.

The first democratically elected Rutgers University Student Assembly had its opening meeting last night, with an agenda bringing up a number of issues the University’s student government hopes to solve.

The meeting took place in the Student Activities Center on the College Avenue campus, with many members anxious to get things going in student government.

“There have been a lot of people working on this meeting throughout the summer,” said Rebecca Pero, the recording secretary for RUSA. “So we are really excited for it.”

RUSA President Yousef Saleh started off the meeting by welcoming both old and new members to a changed University student government.

“Over the summer, RUSA has changed and has taken a giant leap forward,” said Saleh, a School of Arts and Sciences senior.

Report reflects insecurity about future of job market

BY GEOFF MCKENZIE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The economic recession has caused a lack of confidence in the future of the job market and psychological distress among the American people, according to a recent national survey of both employed and unemployed workers.

Carl Van Horn and Cliff Zukin, professors at the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development, prepared the report, “American Workers Assess an

Economic Disaster.” It shows that the recession affects 73 percent of Americans either through personal job loss or the job losses of friends and family.

The impact of the recession caused many to lose hope in their chances of finding work in the near future, according to the report.

“Overall, nearly two-thirds of Americans expect that the nation will still be in a recession next year while another 18 percent

Instructor creates class to break dance stereotypes Juilliard-trained dancer starts course for young boys to erase notion of dance as exclusively feminine practice

BY HENNA KATHIYA STAFF WRITER

When people hear the word “dance,” tutus and pink ballet slippers come to mind. Daniel Levi-Sanchez, a typical suburban dad, is looking to change the girly stigma that is often associated with dancing.

Teaming up with the Mason Gross School of the Ar ts Extension Division, LeviSanchez is starting a new class titled “Boyz Only!” — a dance class designed for boys between the ages of seven through 12 who want to learn some of the basics of hip-hop dancing and break-boy or b-boy skills, a form of break dancing.

Levi-Sanchez hopes to see his students get more out of the

dance class than just b-boy skills. He wants boys to understand that dance is something ever yone can partake in and enjoy regardless of gender.

“I know this reputation of dance being a feminine activity is something tough to beat since it is so ingrained in our culture,” he said.

“I just want these boys to understand that dance is more universal now, and that it isn’t always about the rules and strict guidelines.”

Not only does this class allow boys to learn some b-boy basics such as moon walking and popping, but it also teaches skills that are transferable to any athletic activities they are involved in, said Julie Roth, director of the Mason Gross Extension Division.

“The way I teach, I’ll ask a student to show me how they

“There’s even dance in just walking down the street.”

DANIEL LEVI-SANCHEZ Dance Instructor

Roth believes this dance class will help young boys realize that dance is not meant just for girls.

“I think Daniel is the perfect person to help bring down that stereotype,” Roth said. “He is an

amazing person. His energy and love for dance gives boys an atmosphere where boys can explore their creativity.”

She hopes the skills they learn in the class can be useful for other hobbies they pursue.

“The skills they will learn will transfer to any athletic activities that they’re involved in,” Roth said.

Barbara Bashaw, coordinator of Dance Education at Mason Gross, helped create the idea for the dance class.

“This class is designed to provide an opportunity for boys to come and experiment and learn more about dancing,” Bashaw said. “We want these boys to be able to broaden their horizons and see that there is more to dance than just ballet.”

Levi-Sanchez is no stranger to unconventional dance methods. Although he trained for two years at the Juilliard School, he took part in a dance crew in Paterson, N.J., during the ’80s.

“It was crazy and exciting. I learned how to break and pop.

We went around and did dance battles, and I learned a lot in those years,” he said. “There are no set r ules in dance, which is what I gained out of that experience.”

Levi-Sanchez wants his students to understand that dance is everywhere.

“There’s dance in soccer, there’s dance in basketball, there’s even dance in just walking down the street,” he said.

U. GROUP TO SHOW ‘SEXY SIDE’ OF BUSINESS The Rutgers Entrepreneurial Society will host a special exhibition on the entertainment industry, “The Sexy Side of Entrepreneurship,” at 7 p.m. on Sept. 21 in the Rutgers Student Center on the College Avenue campus.

SUPPLY: Tangel asks students to donate to needy continued from front to form outside the soup kitchen yesterday for dinner.

The soup kitchen believes it is important to offer fresh, quality meals to those in need, something that is not always available in similar facilities, he said.

“I’ve seen some soup kitchens that give out a bologna sandwich and a bag of chips,” Irwin said.

The commitment to healthy meals — not just food to fill the stomach — separates the soup kitchen from its counterparts in other places, he said.

Though Elijah’s Promise prefers to use fresh fruits and vegetables, the kitchen will never deny a donation of cans, he said.

“When you don’t have fresh, canned is the next best thing,” Ir win said. “They still use canned [food]. ... We still need the basic supplies.”

While Ir win understands it becomes harder to donate supplies in times of economic downturn, he said even the smallest donation can help.

T H E DA I LY TA R G U M food has become a more serious issue in recent years as the state of the economy worsened.

Food insecurity comes from not having enough of a variety of nutritious foods, but there is also a psycho-social element to it, she said. Without access to food, people continuously have a sense of anxiety about where they will get a meal.

“It’s not simply not having enough food,” Tangel said.

The portion of the American population who considered food insecure during at least one point was steady at 11 percent for some time. But in the past two years, the number has risen to 14 percent, she said.

Lower socio-economic status is a primar y risk factor for food insecurity, as it often forces less fortunate members of society to choose between a healthy meal and other basic needs, Tangel said.

“The landlord is not going to say, ‘You can’t feed your kids?

You don’t have to pay the rent,’” she said.

Tangel noted that communities often band together to make food baskets for the needy during the holidays, but such efforts are important at all times during the year.

Students at the University can help by donating nonperishable items at the Rutgers Against Hunger boxes located throughout the campus, she said. Specific locations can be found on the RAH website at rah.rutgers.edu.

If every undergraduate at the University donated one or two cans per month, the impact would be significant, Tangel said.

RUSA Internal Affairs Chair John Aspray speaks for a resolution passed that would possibly change voter registration guidelines.

REPORT: Survey shows citizens’ negative view of Obama continued from front fear a depression is coming. Just 16 percent believe the recession will be over a year from now,” according to the report.

Those who are unemployed expressed the greatest concern about the job market, although the employed also showed some fear about the economy, according to the report.

The majority of workers believe the recession represents fundamental and lasting changes in the economy, according to the report.

This may contribute to disapproval of those in political power, Van Horn said.

“Clearly, American workers’ attitudes about [President Barack] Obama’s administration — and the Republican Congress — are negative,” he said. “Only about one-in-five trust either to manage the economy, and only about one-in-five say that the Obama administration’s policies were helpful in ameliorating the impact of recession.”

Opinions on what the best solution to the unemployment crisis is are highly polarized, he said.

“Public attitudes about policy remedies are mixed, with about half supporting or opposing tax cuts and direct job creation — the principle remedies that are available to the federal government,” he said.

Many also cite the recession as a source of significant emotional stress.

“Nearly one-in-five, 18 percent, of the unemployed have sought professional help in the past year for a stress-related disorder or depression, and nearly one-in-10 have declared personal bankruptcy. The comparative numbers for those working are 8 percent struggling with mental health issues and 3 percent who have declared bankruptcy,” according to the report.

Most Americans have been forced to make some adjustments, such as cutting back on spending, 74 percent; delaying plans for home improvement or vacation, 50 percent; or borrowing money from friends and family, 60 percent, according to the report.

Americans blame many different factors for the economic strife and high levels of unemployment in the country. Most people, 74 percent, believe that global competition and cheap labor from other countries are at fault, according to the report.

Mickey Perrotta, a School of Arts and Sciences senior double majoring in political science and labor studies, believes outsourcing is in large part to blame for the economic downturn and high unemployment.

“Globalization and technology have made it so that jobs can be outsourced to other countries where the labor is much cheaper, making it difficult for American workers to compete and increasingly easier for companies to use foreign laborers,” he said.

U. receives $7.5M to improve mobile Internet

BY JACQUELYN ALVAREZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A University-led research team is on its way to advancing mobile Internet, and the National Science Foundation is helping by awarding $7.5 million.

The Future Internet Architecture Awards, three-year grants, are given to help formulate new ideas and innovations toward the development of a more robust, secure and reliable Internet, according to the NSF website.

“It was a very competitive process, and Rutgers’ proposal dealt with mobility,” said Dana Cruikshank, NSF spokesman.

“Part of our approach in how we chose a project was that it needed a component about where the Internet is going.”

The NSF posed a challenge to the science research community earlier in the year, asking them to devise a collaborative long-term research idea, while taking into account larger social, economical and legal issues that arise in the world today between society and the Internet, he said.

Researchers were asked to develop proposals and submit them to the funding board, Cruikshank said. Ideas were then scored three ways — do not fund, fund-worthy or most fund-worthy.

They are then ranked, and only the best of the best are

awarded the grants due to financial constraints, he said.

When considering the team, NSF also took into account their collaboration with other schools and the University’s great track record, Cruikshank said.

What the foundation found most interesting about the proposal was the team’s initiative to conceptualize future changes in the Internet, said Dipankar Raychaudhuri, director of the University’s Wireless Information Network Laboratory, where the project is based.

“Our basic goal is to follow what was set by the NSF,” he said.

“We are going to look at how we can advance the architecture of the Internet.”

MobilityFirst is attempting to assuage common problems such as stalled downloads because of buildings blocking cell phone reception, said Raychaudhuri, also a professor of electrical and computer engineering.

“Our goal is to work on maintaining connectivity and seamless security,” he said.

Using mobile Internet requires the use of a cellular network, so there are two systems being forced to work together, said Raychaudhuri. The team is trying to unify them into one architecturally sound system of mobile Internet.

The University was selected to work on the Global Environment for Network Innovations a few years ago, which gave the team a head start on what they are working on now for the NSF, he said.

GENI is a virtual laboratory for exploring future Internets at scale

while creating major opportunities to understand, innovate and transform global networks and their interactions with society, according to the GENI website.

Because of University involvement with this earlier project that aimed at advancing the Internet, the team is even more excited now with the awarded grant, Raychaudhuri said.

The grant was divided between the University and seven other schools they collaborated with, including Duke University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Michigan, Cruikshank said.

The grant specifically pays for the researchers, staff time, graduate assistants and the actual technology employed in the research, he said.

Secure mobile Internet is key, and with the GENI network connected to the University, the team can start offering MobilityFirst here on campus, Raychaudhuri said.

The amount of national visibility this project attracts will benefit not only the research, but the University community as a whole, he said.

“We see this as pieces of a puzzle we want to bring both the Rutgers team and all Future Internet Architecture teams to collaborate together in order to bring the Internet to the next level,” Cruikshank said.

San Antonio area overflows with tropical storm damage THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANTONIO — The death toll from flooding caused by the remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine could increase after authorities near San Antonio acknowledged Thursday that hopes were dim of finding alive two missing swimmers swept away by floodwaters.

Authorities ended foot patrols along the swollen riverbanks and pulled back helicopters making aerial sweeps of the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, about 30 miles north of San Antonio. The search went from rescue to recovery after the two men didn’t turn up early Thursday, when the river’s slowing current would likely have allowed them to climb the banks to safety, fire marshal Patrick O’Connell said.

“We were hoping they would’ve been able to get to a phone by now,” O’Connell said.

COLO. WILDFIRES INDEFINITELY DISPLACE FAMILIES BOULDER, Colo. — Winds expected to reach 60 mph Thursday are forcing authorities to call off plans for residents to return to their homes after they fled a wildfire that has destroyed at least 169 houses near Boulder.

The winds were expected to pick up earlier than originally thought, leading authorities to close roads that had temporarily been opened to residents at 10 a.m. Residents who were set to be allowed in at 2 p.m. will not be able to get in at all.

Containment lines have been built around 30 percent of the 10-square-mile fire, but firefighters warned that progress could be undone if sparks jump the lines.

Wind gusts could blow away the little moisture the area has seen and spread the fire beyond the 20-milelong perimeter.

“The wind event tonight, we could be off to the races,” said Rob Bozeman, field observer with the Boulder Mountain Fire Protection District.

Nine people had been reported missing in the fire zone, but Cmdr. Rick Brough said they all have been accounted for.

About 3,500 people have been out of their homes for four days, and some residents have been frustrated with a lack of information about what was happening behind fire lines or because they could not do more to help. Some have gotten around roadblocks by hiking and biking in to check on their homes.

Brough said one person caught sneaking in was led away in handcuffs. He acknowledged authorities did not have enough resources to force everyone to leave again if they refused to do so.

The fire has burned 6,365 acres, or about 10 square miles, and damage in about 20 percent of that area still has not been assessed.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.

The Hermine-fueled flooding caught much of Texas by surprise and forced more than 100 high-water rescues, though not all were successful. Flash flooding has killed at least two motorists and others are still missing.

In the San Antonio area, authorities searched Thursday for a man who drove into a flooded road Wednesday. His wife and children were following in a separate car, and the wife called to tell him not to drive into the water, Bexar County spokeswoman Laura Jesse said. Two San Antonio television stations’ helicopters were helping search.

Authorities also resumed a search in Austin for a woman whose black Lexus sport utility vehicle was swept off the road by swollen Bull Creek.

Hermine packed a relatively light punch when it made landfall Monday night, and many Texas residents said they felt

unprepared for Wednesday’s sudden flooding.

Near Alvarado, 20 miles south of Arlington, 15 rescuers tried to save a 49-year-old man who apparently drove his pickup truck into a flooded crossing.

One rescuer got to within 50 feet of the man but could not continue because it was too dangerous, Alvarado fire Chief Richard Van Winkle said.

The man’s body was found hours later after the waters receded.

“This will weigh on us for a long time,” Van Winkle said.

Another person died in a vehicle submerged by water from a swollen creek in Killeen, north of Austin, according to the National Weather Service.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry toured central parts of the state Thursday and issued a disaster declaration for 40 counties.

Perry, pointing out that many of the dead and missing were swept

away in their vehicles, urged people not to try to ford swollen creeks or flooded roadways.

“I don’t care how big your pickup truck is or how good a driver you think you are,” Perry said.

Some of the state’s most intense flooding occurred in low-lying pockets of Arlington, a suburb 22 miles west of Dallas. Debris — including smashed pool tables, pianos and kitchen appliances — were piled up in yards and against smashed fences.

Some residents piled all of their possessions in the front yard, saying their water-logged homes would have to be gutted.

“Maybe some bathtubs and commodes can be saved,” said Margaret Byrum, 50, who was helping clean out her elderly parents’ flood-ruined home. “This is the worst it’s ever been.”

Perr y told reporters that more than 1,200 people in the town of Holland, about 45 miles

northeast of Austin, were without water because of storm damage.

Authorities were trucking in bottled water, he said.

The storm also spawned several tornadoes near Dallas and in southern Oklahoma. A series of tornadoes touched down outside of downtown Dallas, damaging warehouses in an area near Dallas Love Field. One twister slammed a tractor-trailer rig into a brick paint warehouse, causing the building to topple onto the cab and leaving the driver with minor injuries.

Lisa Bahm, a dispatcher with a trucking company, said she and her boyfriend took shelter in the shower of their Seagoville home, near Dallas.

“And we started praying to Jesus to take care of us,” said Bahm, 50. “We heard a screeching noise, the metal peeling off from my metal roof. I was just thinking, ‘Are we going to live?’

Then it was over.”

Mosque plans contain business-driven intentions THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The backers of a proposed Islamic center near ground zero are expressing regrets about creating a firestorm with a plan they thought would be simple and noncontroversial.

Hisham Elzanaty, an Egyptian-born businessman who says he provided a majority of the financing to gain control over the two buildings where the center would be built, told The Associated Press that he has always viewed the project primarily as an investment opportunity and would sell some of the site if the price is right.

And the imam slated to lead the spiritual component of the center told CNN that if he had realized how some Americans would react to the location, he would have picked some other spot.

“If I knew this would happen, if it would cause this kind of pain, I wouldn’t have done it,” Feisal Abdul Rauf said.

Both men, though, said they strongly suppor t the center going forward. Rauf said moving it now would create the perception that “Islam is under attack” in America and would strengthen the ability of radicals to attract recruits.

The challenges facing the project extend far beyond the debate over its location, and include conflicting interests among the key backers.

Elzanaty said that while he supports the building of a 13story Islamic center on the property he helped buy, he needs to turn a profit.

He said one of the buildings is worth millions of dollars if it is redeveloped, and he intends to seize the opportunity. He said he would like to see the other building turned into a mosque, but if backers don’t come forward with enough cash for him to break even, he will turn it over to someone else.

“I’m a businessman. This was a mere business transaction for me,” said Elzanaty, a U.S. citizen who has lived on New York’s Long

Financial backers of the Ground Zero space did not aim to offend the general public with the mosquebuilding plans. Some protesters argue the mosque would be a constant reminder of terrorist attacks.

Island for decades, owns medical clinics in New York City and invests in real estate on the side.

Representatives of some of the project’s backers said they have just started trying to raise the estimated $100 million needed to build the center and the millions more required to run it.

Elzanaty said his real estate par tnership, which paid $4.8 million for half the site last year, has already received offers of three times that much to sell that parcel.

“Develop it, raze it, sell it,” he said. “If someone wants to give me $18 or $20 million today, it’s all theirs.”

If that happened, an Islamic center could still be built at the site, but at half the size.

A spokesman for the developer leading the investment team declined to confirm Elzanaty’s claim that he has a majority stake in the partnership, or comment on whether he needs approval from the rest of the group to decide the fate of the two buildings.

New York Gov. David Paterson, who has tried but failed to entice the Islamic center’s backers to move to a new location, said on WOR-AM radio

Thursday that he appreciated Rauf’s acknowledgment that ordinary people, and not just bigots, had been upset by the plan.

“I do feel the slightest bit of movement,” he said.

The concept of the center was first broached publicly late last year by a group of backers that included Rauf, his wife and a real estate investor in Rauf’s congregation, Sharif El-Gamal.

Together, they outlined a plan to demolish a pair of linked buildings and replace them with a tower that would hold a theater, a health club, a performing arts center, a culinar y school and a mosque.

Since then, though, it has been difficult to determine who is in control. The key players in the development are represented by different publicity firms and different lawyers, and have varying agendas and no consistent message.

Rauf has been out of the country for months and his comments yesterday on CNN and in a letter published in The New York Times were his first since the controversy exploded.

El-Gamal has declined most inter view requests. In his few public statements, he has por-

trayed himself, rather than Rauf, as the key organizer, and created a new nonprofit group to raise the money needed for construction.

It is unclear how much authority either man has to set the project’s agenda.

The business transactions surrounding the project are complicated.

Half the site is owned by the real estate partnership that includes Elzanaty and is managed by El-Gamal, according to city property records. The other half is owned by the utility Consolidated Edison, but controlled through a long-term lease that Elzanaty said he purchased for $700,000.

Elzanaty said he still intends to turn that lease over to a Muslim group for construction of a mosque to replace the sometimes shabby places downtown where Muslims pray now.

As for the criticism that it would be inappropriate to build any Muslim house of worship so close to the trade center site, Elzanaty said he strongly disagreed.

“There is a public opinion that says no, but if you say no, you are defeated by the fanatics,” he said.

Week in review: laurels and darts

idel Castro has finally come out with the truth — the Cuban model does not work. According to the Associated Press, Castro told a visiting American journalist that Cuba’s communist economic model cannot and does not work. For any student of international affairs at the University, it must have been obvious even before the Cuban leader stepped down from his position as the countr y’s president. The fact that things are not running smoothly on the Caribbean island has hardly been a secret, yet it took Fidel and his brother Raul more than half a centur y to admit to the communist economy’s mistakes. The comments were made casually over lunch and were not discussed further. The Cuban government failed to comment. Although it seems a bit ironic to give a laurel to a man who revealed his countr y’s massive economic mistakes, we do for his candid remarks at an age when only the truth matters. *

“We want Google to be the third half of your brain,” the company’s co-founder Sergey Brin said at Wednesday’s release of Google Instant — the new search engine option, which guesses what the user wants to search for and magically offers it just a click away. We are not exactly sure what Brin meant, yet Google has been on this course to take over the world for years now, and it seems as if they have just taken a step closer to their goal. Nevertheless, we approve of the upgrades to the most popular search engine on the market.

Google’s Chrome browser is already two years old and on course to overtake Firefox in the number of users. And although we fear that Google’s ingenuity may indeed become the “third half of our brains,” they get a laurel for always being at the forefront of new developing — and quite useful — technologies. *

Using Facebook is the electronic equivalent of looking in the mirror, according to a study. Apparently the social website provides the ideal setting for narcissists to constantly look at their appearances and see how many “friends” they have. It allows them to thrive on shallow relationships while avoiding any genuine contact. This can only mean that we all — or at least the majority of us — receive a dart for being completely in love with ourselves. According to the study that Soraya Mehdizadeh from York University in Canada, those who scored higher on the narcissism test checked their Facebook pages more often per day than those who did not. This study asked 100 students between 18 and 25 about their Facebook habits, so we find it highly inconclusive.

From almost 500 million users, 100 seems an awfully small number for any reports to be based on — in the end, perhaps it the study that deserves the dart. *

The Chinese government is considering abolishing the one-childper-family rule in five of its provinces in 2011, with other provinces to follow in the coming years. The new policy would allow a family to have two children as long as one of the parents is an only child.

The Chinese government deserves a laurel for this decision. Since being introduced in 1979, the one-child policy has led to a large gender disparity in the Chinese population and also to documented cases of female infanticide. By replacing the old, strict rule with this new, more lax one, China is taking the necessary steps to correct these problems. *

According to the Associated Press, the United States has again fallen behind in the ranks of competitive economies. The causes are huge deficits and pessimism about government, a global economic group said Thursday. After almost two years of careless spending, what else can we expect? We have slipped to fourth from second just a year ago. Switzerland retained the top spot in the ranking by the Geneva-based World Economic Forum, while Sweden moved up to second and Singapore remained at No. 3. “There has been a weakening of the United States’ public and private institutions, as well as lingering concerns about the state of its financial markets,” the group said. We dart the flailing economy once again along with the failing politicians at its head.

Class goes down the drain in New Brunswick

A

bout 15 minutes past midnight last Sunday, a female student decided to relieve herself on the side of the house I share with seven of my friends while two of her male friends tore the banister off our front porch. I wasn’t home when it happened, but four of my friends saw what was happening and attempted to confront the trio.

Unfortunately, two of them fled before any conversation was held, and the third guy denied ever ything vehemently, despite the fact that my friends watched him deface our property. My friends had no way of making this third guy stay, so he split well before the police even had a chance to get there. We filed a police report, but we don’t expect anything to really come of it. The New Brunswick Police Depar tment obviously has far more important things to do than chase down three students for petty vandalism. I can’t blame them for that. And even if the three hoodlums are ever made to take responsibility for their disrespectful actions, that won’t change the fact that this rather depressing scenario occurred.

laziness. It’s also an overreaction. A damaged porch does not warrant an anti-alcohol crusade.

A damaged porch also doesn’t warrant me chiding every student at the University.

It’s pretty obvious that the overwhelming majority of people who attend our University are smart, caring and sensible people. It would be downright illogical for me to blame the whole for the actions of a very select few.

But the question remains: Why do I hold college students, including myself, to a lower standard than everyone else in the world? I know that most of us are good people. I know that most of us would never engage in the kind of behavior these three did. Still, I am always prepared to be let down. The problem could be me. I could just be a bitter cynic. Or maybe we’re not as mature as we like to think we are. Maybe we all know we aren’t yet the adults we claim to be. The world may never know.

Mosque construction intertwines with past events Letter JAMIE BRADLEY

T

he debate to build the mosque at ground zero is not about religious freedom. The need to build something so controversial on the site is insensitive to the tragedy to the American people suffered.

The term “Islamophobia” mentioned in The New York Times by writer Nicholas Kristof is very misleading. A phobia is an irrational and excessive fear of an object or situation. So to make a broad generalization that most or all of the American people are irrationally afraid of Islam seems misguided, considering how the University encourages the religious tolerance of all its students and faculty.

The statistics in Tuesday’s column in The Daily Targum

titled “Respect Religious Freedom” demonstrate how predictable Americans are with something they do not fully understand. Kristof said, “Some of the fear of Islam today is driven by misinformation and a lack of familiarity with it.” Again, this is nothing new to America. This nation discriminated against “Catholics, Mormons, Jews, Chinese, Japanese, Germans, Irish, Italians, Swedes, Poles and just about ever y other group.” This does not make it right to be afraid of a people or discriminate against them. At the end of the day, though, America is still the proponent of religious tolerance, despite its blemished histor y.

The mosque’s supporters say it will build bridges, bringing together the West with the Muslim world. Something that claims to be built on such a

peaceful platform has caused an immense amount of controversy, making Americans question what they really believe in. When one hears America is trying to impede on its own values of religious freedom, it sounds unbe-

“I have faith that America will grow older and understand the fear that plagued it.” lievable and ignorant. Trying to explain how the mosque could be emotionally insensitive to those who lost family and friends in the tragedy of 9/11 seems to fall on deaf ears.

In a blog post by Morton A. Klein and Dr. Daniel Mandel from

The Washington Post, they ask how Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the leader of this project could “have difficulty comprehending that building a 15-stor y Muslim mosque center 600 feet from the site of 9/11, where nearly 3,000 people were murdered by Islamist terrorists, is insensitive to the grieving families of the victims?” They also say no one would think to build a Japanese culture center at Pearl Harbor because it would not be viewed as unacceptable. They mention how Pope John Paul II told Carmelite nuns in the 1980s to relocate after trying to establish a convent at Auschwitz because of how insensitive it was.

Klein and Mandel write, “The 9/11 site is not a holy site, but in as much as it is [a] mass grave of innocents, it is hallowed ground.

As such, special sensitivity is needed.” It does not have any-

thing to do with Americans being wary of Islam, and everything to do with remembering those who died in the 9/11 tragedy. In Klein and Mandel’s words, it is about opposing “a deeply suspect and breathtakingly insensitive proposal to build this mosque in this place.”

If American is “Little Albert,” I have faith that America will grow older and understand the fear that plagued it. At the end of the day, I agree with Kristof’s view of America not having a clean slate of tolerance but having “a more glorious tradition intertwined in American history as well, one of tolerance, amity and religious freedom. Each time, this has ultimately prevailed over the Know Nothing impulse.”

KNIGHT NUGGETS

BY THE NUMBERS There are 15 players on the Scarlet Knights’ roster that hail from the Sunshine State. Five of the Knights are Miami natives, including the Lowery brothers.

The Scarlet Knights won last year’s matchup in Piscataway by eight points, 23-15. Rutgers had a shutout in the fourth quarter, but gave up 15 points in the final seven minutes.

FIU Stadium only holds a crowd of 18,000 — the smallest stadiums Rutgers has played in under Greg Schiano.

In his first game as a Scarlet Knight, freshman running back Jordan Thomas recorded 47 yards on the ground. He also hauled in two passes for 19 yards in the win.

BIG QUESTION

How will FIU split time with quarterbacks Wesley Carroll and Wayne Younger?

WESLEY CARROLL TRANSFER QB

Wayne Younger saw some time as a backup in Piscataway last season, when Wesley Carroll redshirted after transferring from Mississippi State. Carroll is expected to start.

THE ADVANTAGE GOES TO ...

ANDREW HOWARD / SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Senior quarterback Wayne Younger played football, basketball and baseball in high school with Rutgers’ David Rowe, and went 2-for-3 for 21 yards in last year’s meeting while also rushing for five yards.

FOES: Pair of Lowerys own monopoly on weekend’s tickets continued from back “It is certainly going to be a challenge to try and contain him.

He will get his touches. Can you keep him from having a big play as an offensive player and as a specialist both as a punt returner and kick returner?”

Rowe cannot add any insight into how much action Younger will get. The senior attempted three passes as a substitute last season, but is again expected to be the backup to Mississippi State transfer Wesley Carroll. “[Younger] isn’t telling me anything. He’s saying he’s going to get in, though, so we’ll see,” Rowe said. “We’re just going back and forth a little bit.”

Rowe is admittedly more excited to play against his close friend, but their former high school plays in Abilene, Texas, tonight and most of Rowe’s supporters will be out of town for that game, rather than making the three-hour drive to Miami.

Still, his six family members expected to be in attendance are more than usual, and changes the dynamic of the game.

“It’s definitely different playing in Florida, knowing that you’ll be able to play in front of most of your family,” Rowe said.

“It just takes the whole game up

“We came, we got everybody else’s tickets, and we have all of the other Florida guys mad at us right now.”

ANTONIO LOWERY Senior Linebacker

a notch, because now you’re playing in front of grandma or mom and you might be a little more nervous. It’s a fun experience, though.”

For senior linebacker Antonio Lower y and redshirt freshman guard Antwan Lowery, the list goes on longer than grandma and mom.

“The Lowery brothers have about 30 [tickets], so they have all the tickets,” Rowe said.

But there are no apologies from the Miami natives.

“We have basically ever ybody’s tickets,” laughed the linebacker, who had six tackles, including half a sack against Norfolk State. “We know how to do it. We came, we got everybody else’s tickets, and we have all of the other Florida guys mad at us right now.”

And although they might be mad with the Lower ys, the Florida natives have plenty of time to spend with their families when they are not at the stadium.

“I want them to see their families, we just make it ver y clear that when it’s time to go, there are no distractions,” Schiano said. “We get down there Friday evening and we’ll have a meal together, then I want them to be with their families and visit. We’ll bring as many Florida kids as we can fit on that plane, even if they’re redshirting or if the plan is to redshirt them, just so they can see their families.”

The defense nearly shut out FIU last season, and has the potential to be just as strong this season.

Tight ends coach Phil Galiano spent the past three seasons at FIU, and can offer plenty of insight.

Road presents new challenges

BY SAM HELLMAN CORRESPONDENT

There is not any doubt in college football circles — this is a game the Rutgers football team is expected to win.

On paper, the Scarlet Knights play in a tougher conference, average more wins per year and put up better numbers than Florida International. They even beat the Golden Panthers last season.

Between the numbers, however, FIU has enough minor advantages to level the playing field and give Rutgers a run for its money.

“They’re big athletic guys and they play very well and have some skill guys,” said junior running back Joe Martinek. “They were a tough team that didn’t quit, so we just have to, like last week, not get frustrated if it doesn’t go our way and just keep grinding and stick with the gameplan.”

Martinek played a crucial role in last season’s 23-15 victory over FIU with 121 rushing yards. The Hopatcong, N.J., native has 142 rushing yards and two touchdowns in two career games in the state of Florida.

The starting hurdle for the Scarlet Knights comes in the fact that a trip to Miami this weekend marks the first road game of the season.

A road game in Florida isn’t as daunting as other flying trips, with eight current Knights from South Florida alone and a three-game winning streak in the Sunshine State, but the first time on the road is an adjustment nonetheless.

“I like taking the team on the road, it’s just you and them,” said head coach Greg Schiano. “There’s no other, nothing else. We have a lot of Florida kids on our team so I’m sure there’ll be a lot of families down there. I encourage that. I want that. I want them to see their families. We just make it very clear that when it’s time to go, there’s no distractions.”

There is also uncertainty with Florida International’s quarterback situation. Set to open his season tomorrow instead of last week, coach Mario Cristobal has yet to announce his starter for the season, waffling between Mississippi State transfer and pocket passer Wesley Carroll and senior scrambler Wayne Younger — a high school teammate of Rutgers cornerback David Rowe.

Younger completed two of three passes and ran for five yards

Junior running back Joe Martinek rushed for his fifth 100-yard game last week. Another one of those five came last season against FIU. as a backup against the Knights last season.

The advantage for Rutgers is the move of coach Phil Galiano to the team’s coaching staff. Now the tight ends coach, Galiano spent the past three seasons as a defensive coordinator for FIU and knows the players as well as anyone.

“We have to generically prepare,” Schiano said on the quarterback situation. “We do know their personnel, certainly, with Coach Galiano having coached there the last three years. He gives us good insight into their personnel as well, not very much into their schemes because neither of the coordinators were there.”

Schiano said multiple times during the week that he expects Carroll to get the start, but he will gameplan for both quarterbacks.

The biggest weapon for the Golden Panthers is junior wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, someone Rutgers is very familiar with after last season.

“He’s ver y, ver y talented,” Schiano said. “We didn’t really see

the real him last year. He was playing hurt. If you watch him healthy, he really is a very dangerous player that you have to be aware of.”

If he caught nine balls for two touchdowns and 80 yards while hurt against Rutgers last year, Rowe and senior cornerback Brandon Bing have their hands full without Devin McCourty helping out against Hilton like he did last season.

Whenever Rutgers hooks up with Florida schools there are connections between the staffs, but Florida International presents a special one in Cristobal.

Cristobal coached under Schiano with the Scarlet Knights before taking over the reins in North Miami.

“The Mario-me thing is nothing,” Schiano said. “It’s about Rutgers and Florida International.

I’m very proud of Mario and the way that he’s gone about building his program. Really, you can see what a great job he’s done recruiting. They have a very, very talented football team.”

Rowe, Younger set to face off after playing three sports together at Cocoa High School

Rutgers is expected to beat FIU in Miami this weekend, but a road game presents just one of many challenges for a young Rutgers roster. pg. 15

BY STEVEN MILLER SPORTS EDITOR

Greg Schiano and Mario Cristobal coached together for five years between Miami and Rutgers, FOOTBALL and tight ends coach Phil Galiano spent the past three years at Florida International.

There will not be many secrets between the two coaching staffs when the Scarlet Knights take on FIU tomorrow, but perhaps the best insight can come from a pair of best friends.

Junior cornerback David Rowe and Wayne Younger — one of two FIU quarterbacks expected to see action — played football, basketball and baseball together at Cocoa High School.

Although FIU wideout T.Y. Hilton is far from a secret, Rowe received his fair warning about the No. 4 that will lineup across from him in Miami.

“All Younger ever tells me is, ‘Watch out for T.Y. He’s going to do this and that,’” Rowe said. “I know he’s good, I’ve seen film.

Hopefully we can contain him.”

Rowe and the Rutgers secondary contained Hilton for the first 53 minutes in the Knights’ 23-15 victory last season, until a pair

of fourth-quarter touchdowns made the game appear closer than it was.

And although Hilton took back three kickoffs for 61 yards, the 5-foot-10, 183-pound wideout was limited in Piscataway.

“We didn’t really see him last year. He was playing in our game, but he was playing hurt,” Schiano said. “Healthy, he really is a dangerous player that we have to be aware of.
