Temporary Scott Hall bus stop to see adjustments, NextBus addition By Enrico Cabredo Staff Writer
For the foreseeable future, the highest-volume bus stop — Scott Hall — may be a little bit more troublesome than usual for its users. Before the start of the semester, the Scott Hall bus stop was temporarily relocated as a result of the construction in Lot 8. Jack Molenaar, director of the Rutgers University Department of Transportation Services, said the temporary bus stop will probably be there for two years. Michael Irving, a Rutgers Business School junior, said he is frustrated with this situation. “It was just so congested,” he said. “The traffic was absolutely awful.” Brothers of the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity, whose house stands adjacent to the bus stop, have had to deal with the large number of people that now regularly crowd the bus stop. Irving, president of the
fraternity, said the brothers have had to do some crowd control work to protect the image of their house. “I didn’t want crowds of people hanging around our house because that makes us look awful,” he said. “We had to send three guys to stand in our driveway to make sure that everyone stayed off our property.” Molenaar said New Brunswick Development Corporation, RUDOTS and the city of New Brunswick collaborated in the relocation of the bus stop. “DEVCO is the builder, and where it is now was proposed by DEVCO to the city to be approved at this location,” he said. Molenaar said all three organizations are aware that the location has issues, and he wishes he had more time to plan and design the bus stop. “We didn’t have much time to really assess it,” he said. “Say if we did it in June, we would have a little bit more time. That’s why we are at this point now with the city,
tweaking the existing design.” Molenaar said one of the biggest issues with the bus stop is that too many pedestrians are walking on the road. In adjusting the bus stop, the goal is to find a way to keep everyone from not being in the construction zone while having a safe pedestrian pathway within the curb. “I believe the city is looking into opening up the sidewalk on that side of the street so people don’t walk on the street,” he said. “It was one of the issues. Unless they had police posted on both sides of the fence, people would walk on the street because pedestrians are like all-terrain vehicles.” In addition, Molenaar said the city is planning to paint a stripe along the street to guide buses so that they do not park too close to the crosswalk, as to not hinder the site for pedestrian crossing. As of yesterday, the sidewalk has See ADJUSTMENTS on Page 4

City, University to collaborate on improving bike infrastructure By Erin Petenko Staff Writer

New Brunswick Councilman John Anderson has biked around the city all 60 years of his life. “[I ride] an old ten-speed,” he said. “I have rode all over town without any problems, all different areas. But I do like the new bike lanes.” Anderson is one of many New Brunswick residents taking advantage of recent improvements in bicycle infrastructure. The city has created new bike lanes and signs to ease transportation worries, while Rutgers works on programs to increase student awareness and use. Glenn Patterson, director of Planning, Community and Development in New Brunswick, said the city has a high walk score, but they have been trying to make it better for
cyclists with sharrows— signs to indicate a road shared between bikes and cars. He said the new, shared lanes have been added for roads not wide enough for a separate bike lane, such as College Avenue. The city also put sharrows in the sixth ward and the fifth ward, where students often travel, and in the second ward. The county is also looking into the construction of a bike lane that will go from the College Avenue campus to Douglass campus via Neilson Street, to be completed next fall or spring, he said. “It’s fun, it’s fast, it helps to keep you in shape,” he said. “It’s much less stressful than sitting in your car and getting stuck in traffic and traffic signals.” See INFRASTRUCTURE on Page 5
The Daily Targum sits down with actor RJ Mitte Alex Meier Associate News Editor
Ever since AMC’s “Breaking Bad” took off, so has RJ Mitte’s career. Mitte, who plays Walt Jr. on the hit series, has coped with cerebral palsy his whole life and now uses his fame to advocate for disabilities awareness and acceptance for all.
Before hundreds of students entered Trayes Hall on Douglass campus to watch him talk last night, RJ Mitte sat down with The Daily Targum to discuss his career and, of course, breakfast foods. Daily Targum: You’ve mentioned in interviews before that you were bullied as a child for your cerebral palsy. How were you bullied?
How do you think bullying can be prevented? RJ Mitte: Bullying will never be prevented until [equality] is pushed forward, that’s the thing. There will always be people trying to suppress and bring down other people, and that’s inevitable. The trick is to stand behind the people that you See mitte on Page 4

Rutgers cheerleaders perform on Good Morning America Alex Meier Associate News Editor
To kick off Good Morning America’s “College Week,” the Rutgers cheerleading team showed the country their Scarlet Knight spirit Monday morning by performing side by side with pop idol Lady Gaga. When 12 members of the allgirls team and nine members of the co-ed team trekked to GMA’s set bright and early, the cheerleaders felt more excited than nervous, said Emily Zemlachenko, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. “Everything that we were supposed to be doing out there, they were skills that were very basic that … we can hit all the time, but it was just more exciting being in front of all of America at 7 a.m. in the morning,” she said. When they arrived, Zemlachenko said the show’s crew situated the team in a room where
they could prepare and listen to instructions. “Everything was set up in different blocks, but it was very specific timing when things were going to happen,” she said. “They split the cheerleading team up into three different groups — one into the control room, one group outside for all the crowd and another group was by the anchors.” After getting situated, the team performed stunts and tricks for a live performance of Lady Gaga’s newest single “Applause.” Although many college students gathered in the crowd for the performance, Rutgers was the only school shown on camera, said Sharyn Moran, a Rutgers Business School junior. Amina Pratt, a University alumna, watched the performance live in the audience. Pratt, who sported a Rutgers t-shirt, said she was proud to watch her school represented on Good Morning America.
“It was cool. The cheerleaders did a great job,” she said. “I was proud to see Rutgers on a major television show and to see so many cheerleaders in comparison to the other schools that were here. I just wish there had been more Rutgers fans here.”
“It was just more exciting being in front of all of America at 7 a.m. in the morning.” Emily Zemlachenko School of Arts and Sciences Junior
Off camera, the team had the opportunity to speak with Lady Gaga, said Caitlin Krenn, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. “She actually popped her head into our dressing room,” she said.
“It was strange — she was excited to see us. She was like ‘oh, you guys are cheerleaders?’ We were like ‘oh, you’re Lady Gaga. Why are you excited to see us?’” Since Rutgers used three signs for their performance — G, M and A — they gave Lady Gaga their G sign with the written message “To Lady Gaga, love Rutgers cheer,” said Amanda Cody, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. The team has met a few other celebrities over the years, including Victor Cruz, Nick Cannon and Nick Lachey, but Krenn said Lady Gaga stood out as one of the most kind and open. “Often times, some are more standoffish because they’re so busy and they have a lot of people coming at them, but she was so willing to talk to us,” she said. The cheerleaders ended their last season strong, placing third in the All Girl Division IA category for the 2013 Universal Cheer-
leaders Association’s College Nationals in Orlando, Fla., said Lauren Louis, an assistant coach of the all-girl team. She looks forward to watching returners and new talent work together for another successful year. “They look great so far during games and really want to represent their school well,” she said. Sean Timmons, head coach of the all-girls team, said the Good Morning America appearance was an amazing part of what has been an amazing six years of coaching. “It’s the best seats in the house for every single game,” he said. “This year we’re trying to hold our spot if not move up … it’s just exciting — opportunities like this. We’ve done photo shoots before with Snooki and other stuff like that.” Sabrina Szteinbaum contributed to this story.

been opened for use, and a bus guideline has been spray-painted onto the road. Molenaar said the grass around the bus stop would be replaced with hardscape, or a paved area. “We know that the grass is going to be mud soon … so we will be doing some hardscape out there, but we got to make sure to protect the tree as well,” he said. So far, the University has erected orange and white barriers on the Scott Hall side of College Avenue to direct pedestrians towards crosswalks. “We wanted to stop people from
just streaming right across the exit from Scott Hall. That’s what people have done for years,” Molenaar said. Michael Rein, captain of the Rutgers University Police Department, said RUPD would continue to maintain a proactive presence in the area, regardless of where the bus stop is located. “The College Avenue bus stops are larger loads than the other bus stops are,” he said. “We always have those types of pedestrian concerns for those types of bus stops, but I don’t know if the moving of those bus stops esca-
lates those concerns.” Rein said RUPD had recommended DEVCO and RUDOTS to create a safer and more accessible method of pedestrian ingress and egress in the area, and he is happy the sidewalk has been opened. The shelter being used at the temporary location was once used at the Plaza bus stop during construction on Livingston campus. Molenaar said he hopes to match the success of the Plaza bus stop with the planned Scott Hall bus stop. “You try to make it all work seamlessly,” he said. “If the design is done right, you don’t even think someone would have designed it. It would seem organic to you.” Molenaar said eventually, a NextBus screen will be installed onto the Scott Hall bus stop shelter.

mitte Mitte says after acting on “Breaking Bad,” he had a very good support system continued from front
are around, stand behind the people that you care about. When I was a kid, I had my hand broken, I had my foot broken, all kinds of stuff. I had braces on my legs. They always thought I was an easy target, but what they didn’t realize is I played soccer with my braces. I would run miles in my braces. There are many forms of bullying. There’s name calling, there’s bullying behind keyboards, there’s physical bullying. It all varies depending on what’s happening, mostly who you’re around. If you don’t have the support system, if you don’t have your friends behind you, people will try to attack you more. No matter what your age range is, you will always constantly have people try and bring you down. I don’t care who you are. Being in the industry, that’s what people do all the time. I see it in auditions all of the time. When you see it happen, get involved. Be the advocate that you would want someone to be for you, because at the end of the day, we’re all each other has. DT: After acting on “Breaking Bad,” people around the country know your name. Do those who bullied you treat you differently now? RM: I had a very good support system. My mother was one of those mothers who’d be at the school immediately. It wasn’t always fun, but she was always there, and that’s what was a big support.
Being on the show — most people didn’t recognize me for years. They’d say, “Oh, you’re on Breaking Bad.” We’ve been filming the show for seven years now, and the last year it’s become ridiculously popular. We just got into the Guinness Book of World Records for having the highest rated television series in the history of television. It’s weird to see that. I haven’t had the full effect of it yet. At the end of the day, people will always treat you differently no matter who you are. The trick is learning why they treat you differently. When people see a physical ailment, they are trying to treat you differently. The thing is, we all bleed, we all cry, we all love, we all enjoy what we do. It’s just weird to see how people relate to that. DT: How did you get involved in acting? RM: I was 13 at the time [and] my little sister was one. She’s nine now, I’m 21 now. … An agent actually saw her at a water park and was like “You’d be perfect for this Lucille Ball campaign.” She has bright, curly, red hair and at the time, it was cut really short. She met with the manager and he was like “we’ll bring her out for pilot season.” I came out with her for pilot season the next time. When she was booking an agent, the agent was like, “Oh, what about you?” My biggest aspiration was working on a boat or joining See mitte on Page 5

Meanwhile, Rutgers has hired three new employees and is initiating new programs to encourage student bike use, said Dorothy Le, senior transportation planner at the Rutgers University Department of Transportation Services. In a recent survey of 900 students, 1.2 percent said they bike between campuses, she said. “That’s actually a pretty decent start,” she said. “Usually for a city that hasn’t done much toward bicycling, most cities have been .25 and one percent bike commuters, so we’re really on par with most places.” Among the most popular programs is the Rutgers Bike Rental Program, now in its third year, she said. For $10 per month or $25 per semester, students, staff and faculty can get cheaper access to bike routes and see if they want to invest in their own bicycle. “In the first year, we didn’t really do much, but I think all 150 bicycles got rented within a few weeks,” she said. “The second year, we had a waiting list.” Unfortunately, the program now has only 100 bikes in operation, since 30 of them are in need of repair and others have been stolen, she said. The cost to replace a stolen bike is $410, according to the RUDOTS website. Students can register at bikes.rutgers.edu. Meanwhile, Rutgers is in the process of redeveloping their map of student bike routes, which needs to be updated to reflect the addition of sharrows and other improvements on campus, she said. “It shows the trails between and on the different campuses and all the trails that New Brunswick has jurisdiction over, and we’ve mapped the bike rack locations,” she said.
Rutgers often coordinates with the city about biking and pedestrian issues, she said. Only a few years back, the city and Rutgers considered closing College Avenue to all car traffic to allow more room for buses, pedestrians and bikers. That idea never left the planning stages, but on Oct. 6, New Brunswick will open its streets to pedestrians and bicycles in an event called “Ciclovia.” “Basically they open up the streets to solely pedestrians and bicyclists,” she said. “And what it does is it transforms our streets into parkways for walking and biking, even dance events, zumba, fitness classes, martial arts and food vendors.” Multiple student groups and nonprofit organizations contribute to bicycling awareness in the city. One such organization is the New Brunswick Bike Exchange, established last May to raise funds for the Puerto Rican Action Board, said Leighann Kimber, a transportation planning assistant at RUDOTS. “It’s an all volunteer organization that collects used bikes through bike drives and individual donations,” said Kimber, an Edward J. Bloustein School of Public Policy graduate student. “We have volunteers to repair and tune the bikes, then we sell them for affordable prices.” So far, the exchange has sold about 60 bikes, some to Rutgers students, she said. The team also has many student volunteers helping repair the bikes. “The great thing about this organization is that it’s run by the community and serves the community,” she said. “We consider Rutgers students to be a part of that community.”
The city is collaborating with Rutgers to increase biking programs for students and better the bicycle infrastructure around New Brunswick. DENNIS ZURAW
the military. I didn’t have any aspiration to be an actor. And now I couldn’t have my life any other way. DT: What happened afterward? RM: I moved to Los Angeles. I got the agent. About a week later, they put me on as background on “Hannah Montana.” I did background on “Hannah Montana.” They bumped me up to a regular “Student,” which is not “Background.” It’s a little bit better pay. They treat you a little bit nicer — not really. You get to watch how a set is created, how a set works, how a set functions. I was on “Hannah Montana,” “Everybody Hates Chris,” “Weeds” and several other shows. About six months later, I booked “Breaking Bad.” It just took off from there. DT: What plans do you have for
the future? RM: I have a movie in Paris I’ll be shooting sometime next year. We shot the teaser already, which was insanely fun. It’s a comedy. I shot a movie [three years ago] that will be coming out called “House of Last Things.” It’s a supernatural thriller. I’m just staying busy. I love what I do. Being an actor is such an amazing job because you can be someone you’re not. DT: Are you satisfied with the way “Breaking Bad” ended? RM: Yes — well no, not really. It’s sad because it’s ended. It’s sad to see it go. I love how it ended. It’s an inevitable ending. I don’t know how people are going to feel about it, but I’m really excited. … Everything comes together, everything plays out.

memory from being on set? Most emotional? RM: Everyday, it’s the most funny and most emotional scenes. They really are. Everything we do in “Breaking Bad” is extremely emotional, but at the same time, we laugh, we have a good time, we enjoy ourselves. I was so new to this industry when I came aboard, and now I couldn’t imagine my life without it. We had our ups, we had our downs. We had our scenes that were just very interesting breakfast scenes. … You’ll have the darkest moment of our show, but you’ll still have this subtlety of laughter to it. It will still have this light-heartedness, even though they’re dissolving someone in acid. DT: Why is it important to eat a balanced breakfast? To add on, how do you like your eggs? RM: It’s funny, Walt Jr. only has breakfast a handful of times on the show, but everyone has latched onto the breakfast thing so tightly. It’s funny because that’s kind of all Walt Jr. has at the moment. The only time the family is calm and happy, and no one’s trying to kill someone, no one’s cooking meth, no one’s yelling at anyone, no one’s trying to light anyone — well, not necessarily. Breakfast was the mellow scenes of “Breaking Bad.” It all started off in the morning and it ended horribly. And for eggs, over easy, come on. I don’t eat that much. I eat like one meal a day. DT: Would you be friends with Walt Jr.? RM: Yeah. I don’t know. It’d be weird. I’d be like “You look a lot like me.” I think him and me would get along just fine. It varies, I think he’s a bit of a smart ass, but I’m a bit of a smart ass.

Back to basic Americana at White Rose Hamburgers By Matt Mikolay Contributing Writer
Few food items are as synonymous with Americana as the hamburger. The simple sandwich of ground beef nestled between two buns has effectively aligned itself with American culture, ultimately evolving into an edible icon cherished by the hungry masses. Since it first gained popularity, the hamburger has transformed from just a humble beef sandwich to a versatile canvas for gastronomic expression. From “Luther Burgers,” which substitute glazed donuts for buns, to pricey burgers topped with foie gras and black truffle, the food world is teeming with indulgent variations on the burger. Yet, such extravagance seems to warrant a deeper appreciation for a back-to-basics approach to the hamburger. Fortunately, White Rose Hamburgers on Easton Avenue has been serving up classic hamburgers the right way. White Rose, a family business, has a long history of quality and excellence. The original White Rose was established in Highland Park a whopping 57 years ago. Open to this day, they’ve developed a reputation for serving topnotch burgers. Countless newspapers and magazines have written positive reviews of their product, granting White Rose fame and esteem throughout New Jersey. After experiencing the Highland Park White Rose, it’s clear why the eatery is held in such high regard. Their burgers are flavorful, inexpensive and prepared with lightning speed. The White Rose Hamburgers at 43 Easton Ave. set up shop just three months ago. A short walk from the Scott Hall bus stop, the eatery is open past midnight everyday — perfect for students with the late night munchies. White Rose even accepts RU Express and offers a 10 percent discount to Rutgers students with valid ID. Although White Rose is known for its hamburgers and fast-food fare, the restaurant offers breakfast as well, with an assortment of egg and sandwich options. Their Easton Avenue menu closely resembles the Highland Park location’s menu, but features several new additions aimed at college students, including a veggie burger and a variety of gyros. I stopped by White Rose on Easton Avenue for lunch, eager to fill my stomach with their legendary burgers. I was curious to determine how the Easton Avenue restaurant compares to the famous Highland Park location. The restaurant’s interior pays homage to the diners of yore. Complete with bright blue booths and vibrant red tables, White Rose’s appearance is sleek, yet retro. The walls are adorned with vintage car advertisements, newspaper clippings mentioning White Rose, along with other odds-and-ends, providing for a unique, attentiongrabbing environment.
Patrons are handed their burgers just seconds after placing their orders. A slight delay might result when milkshakes or French fries must be prepared, but even so, White Rose services the customer more quickly than many of the most popular fast food chains. The beauty of the White Rose hamburger is its sheer minimalism. Don’t expect to receive a whopping eight-ounce burger gushing with beefy juices and a plethora of condiments. No, the White Rose hamburger’s presentation is blunt, exactly how it should be — served on a white paper plate with a side of pickles. The hamburger patty is made from ground beef smashed thin, with minced onion incorporated right into the meat. If customers want more than just the burger on a bun, they will need to order the “Cali Burger,” which features lettuce and tomato. The hamburger I ordered possessed a strong meaty flavor with hints of onion, untainted by the complexities of excessive condiments and toppings. The burger’s simple form places emphasis on the pure, clean flavor of beef, something many so-called gourmet hamburgers disregard. Because the Kaiser roll acting as the hamburger bun seemed to occasionally smother the flavor of the hamburger patty, I recommend ordering a “double”— two patties on one bun. White Rose’s thick cut French fries, which cost $1.85 for a small and $2.25 for a large, offered a clean potato taste somewhat reminiscent of potato wedges. I felt they needed more salt, but customers can always take charge of the seasoning with a salt or pepper shaker. The onion rings, which cost $2.95 for a small and $3.95 for a large, featured that classic fried onion flavor devoid of the tough, rubbery qualities that too often cause bad onion rings to fall short. However, I found the coating could have used a more sharply defined crunch. The chocolate milkshake, which costs $2.50, was sweet and delectable in all the right ways. Thick and rich, the shake’s chocolate flavor seemed well balanced with complementary vanilla undertones. To be honest, I almost felt like I was drinking a milkshake from McDonald’s — which should be taken as a compliment. The shake was the perfect accompaniment to my meal, and I have no qualms in declaring that all burgers purchased from White Rose should be paired with a milkshake. In comparison to the hamburgers at the Highland Park location, the Easton Avenue burger seemed to lack the usual flair imparted by the onions. However, I have no doubts that with time, the Easton Avenue burgers will be on par with those in Highland Park. After all, the devotion to quality at White Rose is evident, especially when talking with owner Mike Litos.
“Freshness, speed, quantity, quality [and] price all combined equals success for 57 years,” Litos said. He proceeded to explain that the beef, bread and onions used in their hamburgers are delivered on a daily basis. Litos is confident in the freshness and merit of White Rose. “I stand behind our product,” Litos said. “All I need is for somebody to come in and try it once.” In the past, White Rose has considered offering a delivery service, but ultimately decided
against it, refusing to allow the quality of their product to suffer from the lengthy delivery process. Litos has high standards for the White Rose hamburger and insists his product be served fresh for an optimal experience. “I don’t want to sacrifice that image [of quality] only because the delivery time doesn’t allow for a burger to be fresh and a bun to be nice and crisp and a French fry to be crisp rather than soggy,” Litos said. “The time frame is the time frame, no matter how you cut it.”
They say every rose has its thorn, but I’ve only found classic, straightforward hamburgers at White Rose. In a world filled with lavish, over-the-top burgers, the restaurant’s time-tested and simple approach to the hamburger has granted them continued success. Students wishing to experience one of the esteemed White Rose burgers should stop by their Easton Avenue restaurant for a bite to eat. Just be sure to grab a milkshake while you’re there. If you’re lactose intolerant, you can buy me one.

Today’s youth have the thoughts and tools to take charge LEGALIZING LIFE MATT BOYER
J
u s t stop, and observe right now. Let go of the iPhone and, don’t like that uncreative Instagram picture for once. Please do it, just for me? I apologize on your behalf, but there are more pressing issues in the world than Miley Cyrus’ ratchet career choices. There is, in fact, a lot more going on than the start of the NFL season, the release of a couple of new albums or the change in location of our beloved Grease Trucks. It seems as if today our society has prioritized — or glorified — all the wrong things. Today, our nation is caught up in a horrible political paradigm, run by a media that doesn’t practice real journalism and made up of a population that is tricked to go along with all of it. The most obvious example of this is the potential war in Syria, though the aforementioned societal dilemma transcends our nation’s military conflicts and is probably more prominent in our everyday lives. Today’s youth — you and I — are longing for something new. But what is that something? We are the Internet generation. We are fixated on technology and immediacy. Our generation doesn’t want to wait for years of political pondering for marriage equality or pot to be legalized. We do not want to wait
for a new president to balance the budget. We are not interested in the war in Syria. In fact, we are not really interested in war at all. Our generation does not want other people, especially our federal government, telling us what to drink or who to buy health care from. We are not interested in homophobic propaganda or censoring of the Internet. Our generation is simply yearning for the American Dream: liberty, prosperity and the truth. Most young Americans have political
to be in bed with our mass media. Unlike our parents’ generation, we utilize the web efficiently to get most of our information. Not only is this great because it can help us become more informed, but it also takes a stab at cable and network news monopolies. Large corporations like Fox, MSNBC, CNN, ABC and NBC are all scrambling. They’re attempting to transition to the new age, yet keep up with their propaganda. Luckily, most of us are able to recognize it. But when it is all said and done, what
“The youth do not want to wait for a new president to balance the budget, if that is even a relevant issue to them. They’re not interested in war in Syria, in fact they’re not really interested in war at all.” opinions but say they aren’t exactly political. Many of us view politics in the U.S. and are frustrated, confused and maybe even disappointed. We are frustrated over college costs. We’re disappointed that President Barack Obama failed to deliver. And we’re confused as to why in 2013, Americans have little to no civil liberty, between our oppressive drug laws, Big Brother-style data-mining and out-of-control government spending. To poke more fun to the sack of lies that is our federal government, they seem
has our generation really done? Have we changed the political landscape or just added to the ruckus? Well, I guess we’ll have to see. Today, young people have a more liberal political ideology. Most of us seem to be socially open-minded and fiscally responsible. We thought we made progress electing Obama in 2008, though in reality very little was done. But we have to give ourselves time. Essentially, our generation has only voted in the past election. We have a lot more to go,
and 2016 is a big year. If you want action on the issues that concern you, I urge you to be political. Every person who does not advocate for the message of liberty is all the more reason our generation must act stronger and band together. Even though at times success across the nation isn’t apparent, we must acknowledge that there is some success nonetheless. For example, we have states rethinking their high corporate taxes, two states totally ending their prohibition on cannabis and 13 states with marriage equality. Additionally, our message is helping to slow the Obama administration’s intervention in Syria. The time we use to watch stupid, yet addictive YouTube videos or to tweet about hilariously annoying drunken people on the bus can be instead put to action on issues we care strongly about. Though I am guilty of watching Miley Cyrus’ new music video and making criticisms myself, I would rather see some political progress in my lifetime — if not for our generation, at least for the next. It is time for some real change, instead of the “Change We Can Believe In” slogan from the 2008 Obama/Biden campaign. Our youth can outthink, outrun and especially out-Facebook the political establishment we’re battling. Buckle up guys — It’ll be one hell of ride.

Sex-positive feminism cloaks patriarchal notions COMMENTARY RASHMEE KUMAR
F
r o m the promiscuous brigade of “Slutwalkers” to Femen, the topless white saviors of womankind, sexual liberation is resurging as a means for women to have authority over their sexualities, thus wresting control from men who have long possessed female sexuality for their own self-serving purposes. Unfortunately in an attempt to make feminism sexy and accessible — transforming the movement from stereotypical hair-legged hippie lesbians to high-heeled powerful sex goddesses — sex-positive feminism ends up missing the point. Theoretically, sex-positive feminism could radically transform the concept of female sexuality. Ideally, each woman owns her sexuality — it is not something to be possessed or critiqued by men or by other women, for that matter. However, sex-positive feminism in practice ends up being — more often than not — a repackaging of misogynistic impositions on women’s bodies, sexualities and gender performances sealed with a waxy lipstick-stained kiss. Rather than eradicating sexist oppression for all women, sex-positive feminism deludes privileged women into believing that by supposedly taking control of their individual sexualities, they are revolutionizing the way all people perceive female sexuality. This ideology erases the racial, cultural and personal influences that shape each woman’s sexuality and forgets to account for the chokehold that society has on our choices, no matter how self-aware we think we are. Women are socialized to think that if
they dress provocatively or have multiple partners, their respectability plummets. The focus is always placed upon how men will perceive sexually active women rather than how the woman perceives herself. Advocates of sex-positive feminism seek to subvert the male-centric notions that shackle female sexuality — rather than be ashamed of her body and her sexual desires, a woman should feel free to explore her sexuality on her own terms without succumbing to what men want. I see women on the news, social media and blogs embrace the idea of reclaiming sexuality because on the surface, it sounds very
woman consider attractive in womankind? Where do such notions originate, and who is perpetuating them? Why does she want to replicate this definition of beauty? Why is there even a desire to have an attractive appearance in the first place? How are our choices really determined? The concept of choice poses an additional challenge to women of color, who cannot engage with sexuality without being subject to discrimination. I can only speak from the perspective of an Indian-American woman, but it is hard to own my sexuality when I am subject to both cultural and social pressures that keep me from feeling
“A sex-positive white heterosexual woman proclaims that she wears makeup and revealing clothing because she wants to feel attractive for herself — not to get attention from men. However, this supposedly autonomous choice raises so many questions.” empowering. Only you own your sexuality. You decide, not him. My biggest issue with this ideology arises with the concept of “choice” — that is, a woman chooses what to do with her body and her sexuality, and thus, all decisions regarding her physical appearance and sex life are personal statements of empowerment. But it is naïve to think that our ideologies exist in a vacuum, devoid of contamination from external coercions. There are a myriad of social influences that go into every decision we make. A sex-positive white heterosexual woman proclaims that she wears makeup and revealing clothing because she wants to feel attractive for herself — not to get attention from men. However, this supposedly autonomous choice raises so many questions: What physical features does this
empowered via my mode of sexual expression. The traditional brown family prizes the chastity of its women, who are expected to remain virgins until marriage, who are taught that “boyfriend” is a dirty word, who are told to dress and behave modestly for fear that her cultural community will besmirch her family’s good name and render her “too Western” for respectable associations. Yet, when white friends start to date boys in high school and everyone seems to be “hooking up” in college, we often get caught between trying to emulate sexually active white girls and hiding our Friday night escapades from our parents. And let’s not forget to mention the racial fetishization that often goes along with being a woman of color — even our sex lives cannot go untainted from racism, as men who once ignored us suddenly find our
non-white bodies exotic, somehow imbued with a mystical sensuality and intrigue. Thus, women of color are constantly suffocated between having to perform both repressive and hyperactive sexualities, and sex-positive feminism doesn’t allow us any room to breathe. As much as I wish every woman could undo this damaging gender socialization and develop a social consciousness that would completely deflect any patriarchal dogma from influencing her in the future, this is quite impossible. Parents, teachers, friends, the media and society as a whole constrict our ability to fully escape every aspect of internalized misogyny we harbor. But I don’t think that makes a feminist any less of a feminist to acknowledge the ways in which she internalizes patriarchal norms. Our personal and political ideologies are constantly being affirmed, challenged and changed, and complex contradictions of the self are inevitable. In the “Transfeminist Manifesto,” Emi Koyama states that “it is not the responsibility of a feminist to rid herself of every resemblance to the patriarchal definition of femininity,” and women should not feel alienated from feminism because they choose to maintain their physical appearance, or they choose to have sex with many partners. But when a woman asserts that these “autonomous” choices are the only way to be a liberated feminist without acknowledging the limitations of such an ideology, then it’s probably time to sit down with a nice cup of tea and rethink what it really means to be an empowered woman.

rivalry Mistakes cost RU three wins in four tries at invitational continued from BACK
Rutgers’ recent success also does no favors in forecasting a victory against the Pirates. The Knights finished 1-3 last weekend in the Invitational, but missed finishing 3-1 with a few key plays that did not play out according to plan.
“We had some opportunities to be successful but it just didn’t go our way,” Werneke said. “We played well enough to win the matches we lost, but we weren’t good enough when it mattered. We were right there. We just have to take advantage.” Facing a team with similar results, the Knights know they cannot take a win against Seton Hall for granted on their home floor, especially with an abundance of youth. Rutgers only features one senior who plays regularly in defensive specialist Tracy Wright.
The roster also consists of 13 underclassmen. “Early on in the season with a young team, you have to figure out how to take advantage of the opportunities presented to win, and we had those opportunities presented to us, but we didn’t take advantage of them,” Werneke said. “We will focus on how to take advantage as a team and hopefully we will keep getting better and staying competitive.” For updates on the Rutgers volleyball team, follow @TylerKaralewich on Twitter.

benchmark Knights improve but still only tie William & Mary continued from back
While most may focus the X’s and O’s that can be found on film, sophomore midfielder Hayley Katkowski saw something more intangible that Rutgers could learn from its loss. “It was good to see how much they wanted to win and they were hungry to score goals,” Katkowski said. Both aspects of the Knights’ offensive game were corrected in Sunday’s 1-1 draw against William
& Mary, where Rutgers held a 17-7 shot advantage and outshot the Tribe, 7-3, on net. Despite that advantage, the Knights could not find the back of the net toward the end, even with some very good opportunities down the stretch. Having the ability to adapt and improve one’s game in the face of adversity is the hallmark of a good team, which the Knights showed a glimpse of with adjustments from game to game. Rutgers will have a few days to prepare for its next pair of opponents in Bryant and Princeton, but the team is using this past weekend as motivation to win again.

September 11, 2013 FIELD HOCKEY STABB, WRIGHT PROVE INSEPARABLE
Junior duo provides spark for RU By Justin Lesko Contributing Writer
Just one dorm room at Rutgers has 10 goals, 23 points, two Big East Weekly Honor Rolls and a Big East All-Second Team appearance between its two occupants in 2012 and the first four games of 2013. Whatever is in the water in junior midfielders Jenn Staab and Sophie Wright’s room should likely be spread to all Rutgers athletes. The pair were the only members of the Rutgers field hockey team’s freshman class of 2011. “We came together as freshmen and it’s just the two of us in our class,” Staab said. “So we’re with each other all the time and we’re used to it. We have a pretty good atmosphere.”
The two have made quite the impact. Wright has appeared in 39 collegiate games. Staab has appeared in every game since 2011, with 39 starts under her belt. To add to their impressive individual stat lines, both players have been named captains this season. Wright described it as “an honor” to be named captain. Staab agreed. “I was very honored,” she said. “Of course being named a captain with Sophie was great.

also impressive in transition with four shots and three on goal. Hailing from Devizes, U.K., Wright has grown to enjoy life at Rutgers. “I like the atmosphere with all the sports in New Jersey,” she said. “There’s a lot of hype. Everyone is really involved and I really enjoy the competitiveness.” Wright was named to the season’s first Big East Weekly Honor Roll following two goals during the opening weekend. She has since hit the back of the cage two more times, with 15 shots in four games. Both enjoy their leadership roles this season. “I think Jenn and I want to be role models potentially — passionate and play by example,” Wright said. “Just to motivate the other players, tell them to have a good time and enjoy themselves.” Rutgers’ two losses this season have come to ranked opponents, No. 19 Boston College and No. 10 Duke, but Wright does not dwell on it. She encourages her teammates not to, either. “It’s early days and we’re coming really close and giving them a challenge,” she said. “We’ve been definitely encouraging [the younger players], telling them to keep up what they’re doing.” The Knights will travel to Albany, N.Y., this weekend, when they will play Sienna on Saturday followed by a Sunday clash with Albany.

Rutgers made it to the second round of the Big East Tournament before falling to Louisville.

Li will look to improve upon a strong freshman campaign in which she was named the team’s season MVP with a 16-5 overall record and an impressive 9-1 conference mark. “Gina had a very strong singles record at the No. 2 singles position last season,” Bucca said. “I am sure she will be looking forward to building on that in her sophomore season.” Petrini should provide some leadership for the crew, teaming up with Stefania Balasa

The Knights open up the season against in-state opponent NJIT for the second consecutive season. The Highlanders finished last season 15-6 in the Great West Conference and have a roster filled with five foreign players, including two from Brazil.

Page 15 FOOTBALL EASTERN MICHIGAN HAS ALLOWED 453 RUSHING YARDS IN TWO GAMES
Run ‘D’ could keep James among nation’s best By Josh Bakan Sports Editor
Sophomore P.J. James always imagined he could be one of the top running backs in the nation. Eastern Michigan’s run defense, which has allowed 453 yards in two games, might help him prove his sanity again Saturday. “It was something I envisioned,” said James yesterday of his success. “If you want to do something, you definitely have to picture yourself. I could picture myself doing it, so it’s not something really surprising to me.” The Scarlet Knights rushed 56 times Saturday against Norfolk State, and it worked for 273 yards. But Rutgers cannot win every game through rushing, and that might be too great a consistent workload for its backfield. James and junior running back Savon Huggins recorded 39 of those runs, and their health has not been problematic yet. Against Eastern Michigan, though, balance is key. “Every game is a good game to gain momentum, but I feel like this is a good game to gain momentum on the ground, get it running, get things moving,” James said. “I feel like we can definitely get things going in the air too to even them out and have a balance going back and forth.” Rutgers has stuck with what has worked on offense this season, though. When James broke long runs Aug. 29 against Fresno State, he kept playing most of the snaps. As Rutgers broke
off big enough runs for first downs against Norfolk State, it kept running. The Knights can at least balance their backfield if Huggins’ 96-yard performance against Norfolk State was no fluke. Huggins has a history of running into defenders and toughing it out for more yards, but he improved his approach against the Spartans. “Savon’s an extremely intelligent back, and he knows how to cut the hole right,” said redshirt freshman right guard Chris Muller. “When either [Huggins or James are] out [there], I know they’re going to get yards if we block right.” It may have been the backfield’s evolution, poor run defense or both. But against Eastern Michigan, it might not matter.

the ball went over the quarterback’s head,” Flood said. “Then they lined up to play the next play and the next one went over his head.

MEN’S SOCCER SETCHELL AIMS TO ANCHOR DEFENSIVE UNIT IN HIS FINAL SEASON
Defender returns from season-ending hip injury By Greg Johnson Correspondent
For Joe Setchell, the last several months before the season revolved around weight lifting, strengthening his lower body and regaining mobility in his hips at a rehab center. That was all the senior defender could do as he recovered from hip surgery. Setchell suffered a season-ending injury in just the second game last year for the Rutgers men’s soccer team. Yet the Kings Lynn, England, native never had any doubt he would be able to redshirt and resume his final stint with the Scarlet Knights. “I knew I had the support of people here and the backing of the coaches and the training staff, so I was confident that I was going to come back,” Setchell said. “It was just a long wait, but now I’m back and I’m enjoying it.” It has also been a challenge, as Setchell tries to help the Knights (1-2-1) recreate the success they enjoyed in 2011 when they advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16. Head coach Dan Donigan said that team possessed grit, mental toughness and perseverance — traits he believes often trump talent in tight soccer matches.
The Knights receive a dose of that in Setchell, who started 18 games as a team captain two seasons ago. “He’s a great leader, great guy to have in the locker room,” said sophomore defender Mitchell Taintor. “He’s bigger in the back, so it helps us, and he’s just great overall.” At 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, Setchell is Rutgers’ bulkiest defender. As a center back, he commands the middle of the Knights backline. And alongside sophomore defender Drew Morgan, Setchell returns to form arguably one of the most formidable defensive duos in the American Athletic Conference. “I wouldn’t put any other guys out there — two hard-nose, tough-as-nails, competitive kids,” Donigan said. “But Joe has to be fit, he has to man mark. He has to do all the things necessary in those crucial moments to not let teams just come at us, and it could be led by him in the back as a senior, fifthyear captain.” Setchell acknowledges as much. In three of four games this season, Rutgers has relinquished 1-0 leads it never regained with 15 minutes or less remaining in regulation.
The center back understands the backline must push through fatigue and limit its opponent’s time of possession. “I just feel like as a group we all need to turn it around, but I personally take a lot of responsibility for the results so far this season,” Setchell said. “I think that defensively as a unit we need to press all the way throughout the 90 minutes, as opposed to just sitting back and receiving pressure.” That passive mentality cost the Knights the most in double overtime Sunday against thenNo. 5 Akron, when Setchell set his feet inside the penalty box to stop oncoming Zips defender Andrew Souders. But Taintor, a fellow captain, unnecessarily stuck his foot in and drew the yellow card that awarded Akron the eventual game-winning penalty kick. It was yet another case of early-season miscommunication, even between captains. “It happened pretty fast it seems, but looking back on the video, I could have been clearer to Mitchell that I was there,” Setchell said. “There were mistakes all over the field which led to the incident, but I think once again it just shows that defensively we need to make sure we’re good on every single play.”

But time is running out for Rutgers to correct its fundamental errors. Gone is an attitude of embellishing competing well. The Knights know they need to start finding results. Most importantly, Setchell knows this is his last chance to rally the team. “I think any senior in their last year, in their last season of eligibility wants to go out with a good
season, and I’m no different,” he said. “Being out for a whole year and a half, you don’t take anything for granted now. ... I want to make the best of every opportunity.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s soccer team, follow Greg Johnson on Twitter @ GregJohnsonRU. For general Rutgers sports updates, follow @TargumSports.

Seton Hall resparks rivalry with Rutgers By Tyler Karalewich Contributing Writer
The Rutgers volleyball team looks to bounce back at home tonight against Seton Hall. The match succeeds a tough weekend at the Candlewood Suites Invitational in Syracuse, N.Y.
The big storyline for tonight’s matchup is the fierce rivalry that will be renewed between the former Big East foes. The Scarlet Knights (3-4) return to the College Ave. Gym for the first time this season to face the familiar New Jersey adversary in Seton Hall. “It’s a nice rivalry between two in-state teams and each team is going to bring it,”
said head coach CJ Werneke. “I expect a lot of energy and enthusiasm in the gym from both sides.” If records are any indication, the Knights should be optimistic. Seton Hall (1-6) travels to The Barn after a tough stretch, in which they came up short five of their last six matches including losses in their last four matches. Although they are
optimistic, Werneke knows not to take any team lightly. “Each team is going to bring it. We respect them, but we want to beat them, and hopefully the feeling is mutual,” Werneke said. “We expect them to rally and compete, but we are looking for our kids to come out with great play and respond.” see

NJIT opens fall season for Rutgers
Invitational gives RU benchmark for season By Jim Mooney Staff Writer
As the Rutgers women’s soccer team prepares for this weekend, it has an opportunity to learn from last weekend’s games against Virginia and William & Mary. “Anytime you go into a weekend and come out of it with only one point and allow seven goals, it is pretty devastating,” said senior defender Tricia DiPaolo. “It is even more devastating not to learn from it, so we just need to go back to the drawing board this week and improve.” The Scarlet Knights (4-1-1) pulled a 1-1 tie Sunday against William & Mary after dropping their first game to Virginia, 6-0.

But despite their performance at the Nike Soccer Invitational, there were some positives to take away from the Knights’ weekend. “This is a team that is willing to learn and improve,” said head coach Glenn Crooks. “It is also good to see some of our older players recognizing that we can [not only] learn a lot about watching film of ourselves, but seeing what teams like Virginia do well within their own game.” This weekend, the Cavaliers outshot Rutgers, 19-2, and also recorded an 8-1 advantage in shots on goal. “I think sometimes that we wait for the perfect shot when in reality there is no such thing as a perfect shot,” DiPaolo said.
ROSS TETRO scored his first-career goal in Rutgers’ 4-1 win against Penn State on Friday night at Yurcak Field. The sophomore defender has started all four games for the Knights this season after making all 15 starts in his rookie campaign.
