Public library serves local youth with free programs camilo montoya-galvez correspondent

For many of New Brunswick’s youths, the beige building adorned with four Greek-styled columns in the heart of the city is a gateway for infinite possibilities.

There, they can explore the sublime reddish precipices of the Grand Canyon, delve into Roald Dahl’s literary world or fine-tune their gardening skills. To the delight of their parents, they can also focus on their homework and let out all of the curiosity, energy or stress that they may have at home or in school.

Although the place is officially named the New Brunswick Free Public Library, city resident Micaela Flores calls it her daughters’ second home.

“I definitely prefer that my little girls come here rather than being on the street or going to the park alone,” Flores said. “They are safe here, and they love coming here.”

The Mexico native said she tries to brings her three daughters to the library every weekend. Her youngest child is currently in pre-kindergarten, the middle one is in kindergarten and the oldest just entered middle school.

Despite their age differences, Flores said, they all share a bond with the library and don’t mind the walk there from home. The three girls frequently ask her to take them on Sundays as well, but Flores said she is unable to because of commitments.

“They all love the programs hosted here and whenever they see something that they like, I sign them up,” she said.

Many of the activities that target the city’s youth are organized

by Chelsea Woods-Turner, one of the librarians. She is in charge

of running the librar y’s readers club for fourth to eighth graders and hosts a bi-weekly program called “Relax!” in which she helps young students — from kindergarteners to middle schoolers — cope with stress and perform better in school.

The conditions of urban areas like New Brunswick tend to produce more anxiety for children than suburban or rural communities, Woods-Turner said. Reading, playing and learning in a setting where no activity is graded serves an antidote to this stress.

“We have the advantage of being an informal, no-pressure learning environment,” she said.

This past week, Woods-Turner invited her sister, a former National Park Service employee, to the library to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the federal agency that manages all of the national parks and monuments in the country.

Aubree Woods spent a year in the Grand Canyon conducting field research on the Sentry Milk-Vetch, a rare and minuscule plant that became endangered as its populations were trampled on by tourists traveling throughout the national park.

She told the attentive audience that her job was to make sure that these small plants continued to grow across the rims of the canyon.

With photos, a shor t talk and a scavenger hunt, the sisters took the young city residents on an expedition across lands that most of them do not have the chance to experience.

“We want them to have exposure to things in their countr y that they might not know exist.

We want them to know that these parks are accessible to them,” Woods-Turner said.

Rutgers hosts meningitis clinics to vaccinate undergraduates on campus faith hoatson correspondent

Rutgers meningitis B clinics aim to efficiently vaccinate students and prevent further cases.

There were two cases of Meningococcal B at Rutgers last semester. These two cases were of the same strain, said Melodee Lasky, assistant vice chancellor of Health and Wellness. “(In) working with the CDC and the Department of Health, it was

determined that this was an outbreak situation,” she said.

Numerous groups around Rutgers came together to work on preventing a future outbreak.

They adapted a multi-pronged approach. This process began in the summer, with alerting students of the severity of meningitis B, and advising them to get vaccinated, she said.

Knowing that not everyone would have the time to get vaccinated, or the accessibility to the vaccines,

the clinics were set up. Setting up clinics on campus was an integral part of the plan, as well as making the vaccinates available in the student health centers by appointment.

The clinics have a very streamlined process, allowing students to be vaccinated without much wait.

The average time spent at the clinics is 14 minutes, said Nick Taylor, a Rutgers Business School graduate who monitors the logistics and See campus on Page 5

Playa Bowls expands business to U. with new store on Mine Street noa halff associate news editor

Students do not have to take the trip to the Jersey Shore to eat and Instagram their favorite Playa Bowls anymore — now they can take a short trip to a new location right here at Rutgers.

The fruit bowl and smoothie shop has locations in Belmar, Pier Village and Bay Head, New Jersey, and is now bringing its summer vibes to Rutgers campus.

But its new location is special, said Desi Saran, one of the four co-owners, with Robert Giuliani, Abby Taylor and Nick Komandis.

Not only is their largest demographic college students, but three of the four owners are Rutgers alumni, said Saran, who is a Rutgers MBA alumnus and Class of 2007 graduate.

“We thought it was a big deal to bring something back to the community, to the University,” he said.

It is also the first location away from the beach, Saran said.

“This is a big move for us,” he said. “We are confident and ever ything has been great so far. I think it was a great choice for us, for our first location away from the shore.”

Playa Bowls, a Belmar, N.J.-based health food restaurant, is opening a new location just off the College Avenue campus in New Brunswick.

Saran said his goal is to replicate the look, feel, atmosphere and menu of the other locations on the New Jersey shore.

The shop, which known for its pitaya and acai bowls that are healthy and filling, has a variety of flavors to choose from. Acai berries, a trendy superfood filled with antioxidants, are ground and can be mixed with fruit, granola, coconut, peanut butter, nutella and more.

The outcome is colorful, and many take it to social media sites, which has helped in the promotion and popularity of Playa Bowls.

“I think students like having a healthy food option,” he said. “It’s definitely different and unique. The playa bowls are delicious, they’re filling and they’re a full meal replacement. You can have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.”

The shop opened last Saturday and the feedback has been very good, Saran said. There will be a grand opening Saturday, Sept. 17, with giveaways.

Science Explorer bus celebrates 10th anniversary nick huber staff writer

The Rutgers Science Explorer, a modified bus with a fully-functional mobile laboratory inside, is about to celebrate its 10th birthday.

The program is taught by graduate students who are pursuing science degrees, said Patricia Irizarry, coordinator for the RSE. It is designed for middle school students to get engaged with STEM — or Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

The RSE bus program started in January 2006 and was originally funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Since then the bus has visited more than 125 middle schools within a 50 mile radius of New Brunswick, and taught approximately 42,000 kids.

“We were funded by that for the first few years, and then the School of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School of New Brunswick supported it for an extra five years,” she said.

The Edison Venture Fund donated the bus and the bus itself was designed in Ohio by the OBS Company. The bus is currently being sponsored by the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, the School of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and the Graduate School of New Brunswick, Irizarry said.

The schools are members of the Mobile Lab Coalition, a group of organizations interested in STEM, and once a year they hold a conference.

At this year’s conference, the RSE program was awarded the Outstanding Program Award for Innovation in Teaching and Learning.

The program won the award because of its system of graduate students who serve as role models for middle school students and the relationships they developed with those schools, she said.

“Every year we get new schools requesting to be in the program, because they have heard from someone else or they

The Rutgers Science Explorer is turning 10 this year. While it was originally funded by a National Science Foundation grant, three different University schools now keep it operating. JEFFREY GOMEZ learned from it in the local newspaper, but we also have schools we go to every year,” Irizarry said. “We build relationships with these schools and we work with them on a yearly basis.”

The RSE program is an extension of Rutgers interacting with the community, she said.

provide specific steps they need to follow, she said.

The RSE is also connected to the Rutgers Geology Museum as part of their outreach commitment, Irizarry said.

The geology museum and the RSE program have been working together for seven years,

and a forensic anthropology activity called Skeleton Detectives.

Each day two graduate students will teach a 90 minute program, with each session compromised of 20 kids maximum. The sessions are approved by educational specialists who make sure the activities go hand-in-hand with

“Every year we get new schools requesting to be in the program because they have heard from someone else or they learned from it in the local newspaper.” patricia Irizarry Rutgers Science Explorer Coordinator

“For us, it’s important to promote the outreach for science education and also combine all possible disciplines, so if you want to be a scientist in any field you are interested in, they will have to know biology and engineering and need to go to grad school for that,” Irizarry said.

The goal is to present the kids with a realistic scenario and

said Lauren Adamo, a director at the Rutgers Geology Museum.

The museum and the RSE program work together to develop new programs at the museum, which will then be used as programs on the bus, Adamo said.

Adamo participated in the RSE program for a year during graduate school, she said. She taught activities about volcanoes, DNA

New Jersey’s Next Generation Standards, Irizarry said.

“It could be tiring because it was a whole day of teaching, but it was fun because you’re seeing somewhere around 60 to 80 students a day, and you have them on the bus for about 90 minutes to teach them these hands-on experiments,” Adamo said. “So it was a lot of fun to

see them go from not understanding the subject, to completing these activities.”

Adamo helped design one of the activities called Drilling Into Science, an activity that teaches how geologists look for and locate oil, she said. The RSE program was great for her professional development and taught her teaching skills.

Graduate students in STEM disciplines can apply to be in the RSE program. Students commit a full day to teach middle school kids on the RSE. The RSE expects to continue visiting schools, she said, and are emptying a room on the third floor of the Allison Road Classroom Building on Busch campus, which will eventually turn into an outreach center.

This program offers graduate students teaching experience and the opportunity to design activities for the middle school students, Irizarr y said, adding, “It’s good for their resume and their professional development.”

Graduate students run the explorer’s different educational programs. The modified bus features a functional mobile laboratory, and the Rutgers Science Explorer program won an Outstanding Program Award for Innovation in Teaching and Learning this year. COURTESY OF PATRICIA IRIZARRY

programs 34.9 percent of New Brunswick population lives in poverty, according to Census Bureau continued from front One of the library’s missions is to ensure that the city’s residents are aware that all of its services are free of charge, she said. The seemingly trivial letters that overlook the building’s entrance serve as a reminder to the community that it is in fact a “free public library.”

“Really, the only time you have to give money to the librar y is if you return a book late,” she said.

Woods-Turner identified her co-workers and herself as “public ser vants” who have a responsibility to the area’s community because the librar y is a tax funded institution.

Many of the families in New Brunswick rely on the library’s free services because of their financial circumstances.

About 34.9 percent of the city’s population is in poverty, while the median household income stands at $38,399, according to statistics from the United States Census

Bureau. In the entire state of New Jersey, the median household income is $72,062, and about 11.1 percent of its residents are in poverty.

Aside from appreciating the fact that everything is free, New Brunswick resident Rosalba Reyes cherishes the library’s accommodations for immigrants like herself whose native language is not English.

The native of Puebla, Mexico, who has been coming to the library for the past four years with her three sons, praised the “welcoming” environment she has encountered in every visit.

Aware of the community’s large immigrant population, the library has made concerted efforts to make the institution more inclusive. Nearly all flyers

and materials are available in both English and Spanish, and many of the events — especially

“I definitely prefer that my little girls come here rather than being on the street or going to the park alone.” micaela flores New Brunswick Resident

those for children — are held in bilingual formats.

“We want people who may not speak or read English to know

that they are welcomed here,” Woods-Turner said. “We also try to think about how a bilingual kid would approach learning.”

The librarian said her selection of “Becoming Naomi León” as the new book for the readers club had an underlying purpose. She is certain that the coming-of-age novel about a Mexican-American girl will resonate with the kids in the city and their own experiences, she said.

Although somewhat tiring, Reyes said the 20-minute walk from home to the library with her boys is “worth it.”

“At home they have a lot free time and they only think about watching television or playing video games,” she said. “Here they have the opportunity to learn.”

U. launches 2-factor authentication for faculty, staff michael makmur staff writer

Rutgers is taking measures to increase cybersecurity by launching a two-factor authentication procedure, an added feature for logging into email or other digital services.

Two-factor authentication services (2FA) are a two-component method to ensure that only the owner of a digital service, like an email address, can access it. The first component is a password: The user types in their password like they normally would.

The second component requires the user to have a device that will verify their identity, such as a smartphone. The user receives a text with the passcode, which they then type into the account to verify their identity.

With security breaches and password leaks becoming more frequent, many internet ser vices and companies have begun to roll out two-factor authentication.

Rutgers will now use two factors with the introduction of NetID+. One of the factors, the NetID password, is something “the user knows,” while the other involves something “the user has,” according to the Office of Information Technology’s website.

For NetID+, the item “the user has” can be a smartphone app, SMS messages, phone call or hardware token. The OIT website recommends using the mobile application from Duo Security to help protect user information.

The mobile app provides two methods of confirming your identity, a login request and a generated code.

“I think from a conceptual perspective (2FA is) becoming a standard in the industry. I think it’s a good practice.”

MICHELE NORIN Rutgers Chief Information Officer

When using the login request, Duo sends a request to the smartphone app that requires user approval. The generated code works similarly to other two-factor services, where a unique identifier produces a six-digit code every 30 seconds to be used as a second passcode.

For users without a smartphone, Duo also allows the six-digit code to be sent through text messages or produced through a

physical hardware token. Duo can also call the user’s phone to confirm the user’s identity.

These methods cost the University additional fees and as such are not recommended, according to the OIT website.

Using two factors instead of one adds a second layer of protection that can not be easily obtained by a would-be hacker. Even if a NetID password is given away in a phishing attack or leak, the second factor would remain only in the hands of the user and prevent access to online services.

The OIT website recommends using a smartphone, but if a user does not have a compatible device, a request can be put in for a hardware token through the Rutgers Software Portal.

The website also recommends that users enroll more than one device as a second factor to prevent user lockouts in case their smartphone is lost or stolen.

If all other methods fail, the user can contact the Rutgers Help Desk, who can provide a temporary bypass code.

All employees that submit expense reimbursement requests or create procurement shopping carts will be required to enroll in NetID+, due to the nature of their work and the access they have, said Frank Reda, the Director of

Two-factor authentication requires a user to first sign into a computer. After that, they receive a passcode on their phone they can use to sign in. MIKE MAKMUR / STAFF DESIGNER the University’s Office of Information Technology, via email.

OIT chose to utilize Duo Security to run two-factor authentication because it supports many different devices and options to be used as a second factor, as well as the fact that many other Big Ten schools utilize Duo, Reda said.

There are currently 603 users registered in NetID+, but the rollout will continue until the end of September. The users currently registered only represent a fraction of those required to do so, Reda said.

At the moment, only active Rutgers employees, student workers and Rutgers guests are able to use NetID+, he said. It will be rolled out in phases to other roles.

OIT would use a vocal information campaign to encourage faculty and staff members to sign up by explaining how easy it is to use 2FA and what the benefits are, said Michele Norin, senior vice president and Chief Information Officer at Rutgers.

“We need to do that marketing piece and then we’ll figure out when it might be an appropriate time, if it would be an appropriate time to make it mandatory,” she said.

“There are some parts of our portfolio where we’ll push a little bit harder to make it mandatory, like around our administration services.”

The service will not be mandatory for the time being, she said.

Expansion of NetID+ is in OIT’s broader plans, but there is no specific timetable for it to be rolled out, Reda said.

There are several factors to consider before OIT can roll 2FA out to students, including the fact that most students are only at Rutgers for a few years before graduating and leaving the school, Norin said.

“It’s a much bigger population so we need to be ready with the help side of that service, and we need to work with the community,” she said. “We need to look at how that works and how would we manage it effectively so it’s a smooth experience for students.”

In order to enroll in NetID+, users should visit netid.rutgers.edu and select “Manage NetID+” in the left navigational menu.

“I think from a conceptual perspective (2FA is) becoming a standard in the industry. I think it’s a good practice,” Norin said.

“I think it would work, I think it protects our environment a little bit better.”

For more information, users can visit the NetID+ website, also contains technical information, tutorial videos and FAQs.

Playa Bowls aims to serve healthy food to students, Saran says

Nearly one-third of Rutgers students have already been vaccinated, Lasky says continued from front

continued from front here, they are super happy that they have a healthy food options,” Saran said.

While the owners are excited about their new location, they do not plan to end here.

“We are planning to expand more,” Saran said. “The next one we are planning to open is in Red Bank, then we are looking to go up north to Montclair and then other northern towns like Hoboken.”

Playa Bowls opening at Rutgers is a great addition to the campus, said Antoinette Robustelli, a School of Arts and Sciences junior.

“Every time I was down the shore this summer I made sure to wait in the crazy lines for one of these bowls,” Robustelli said.

“There’s so much variety and they’re surprisingly filling, so it could actually hold me over for a three-hour lecture.”

Robustelli said she is excited to visit the location at Rutgers as soon as possible.

“I’m glad playa bowls are organic, because I plan on getting one every day,” she said.

The first time Gillian Blewett, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, tried one of “these delicious creations” was when they were just a small food stand on 8th Avenue in Belmar, N.J. She has not been to the new location at Rutgers, but said she plans to visit.

“Now, look how popular this unique business has become,” she said. “The story behind the growth of Playa Bowls is beyond inspiring to college students trying to find their passion.”

Playa Bowls has never disappointed Blewett.

“Each different flavored bowl is just as delicious as the next,” she said. “Not to mention how beautifully made and picture perfect they are. I can’t wait to try more creative and colorful fall flavors this upcoming semester.”

CRIME Sept. 12 NEWARK — The ACLU challenged the Newark Police Department after its “sting operation that netted 13 prostitution-related arrests this weekend.” The ACLU critical of how the Newark Police Department’s tactics, and argued that targeting “consenting” adults is bad practice. “Using our criminal justice system to harass, arrest and incarcerate consenting adults who agree to exchange sex for money is a poor use of the NPD’s limited resources,” said ACLU-NJ Executive Director Udi Ofer.

Sept. 12 LAWERENCE — Connor Lukowiak, of Haddonfield, was arrested and charged after allegedly assaulting an on-campus security officer. The 19-year-old Rider University student was detained after about 3 a.m. when police officers arrived on the scene.

Rider Public Safety officers needed assistance with Lukowiak, who police said was “belligerent” and “combative.”

effectiveness of the clinics. Signing into the clinic and checking in takes nine minutes on average, and the time between check-in and receiving the vaccine takes five minutes on average.

If one opts for the fast-track option, and fills out their insurance paperwork beforehand, the wait time is even shorter.

“Our target group was the undergraduate population,” Lasky said.

The undergraduate population is comprised of 35,000 students, and the vaccine must be administered on three separate occasions.

The vaccine is also fairly new, only being licensed in 2014.

The vaccination process spans six months.

“The first dose is given, and then the second dose is one to two months after the first dose and the third does is six months after the first dose,” Lasky said.

Good hygiene can also help, such as hand-washing, covering a cough and not sharing drinks or anything that touches one’s lips.

Despite this, vaccination is still the best defense.

Administration of the vaccine does not need to come from the same place. For example, students can get the first dose at home, the second dose at school and the third from the pharmacy.

“We’d like to prevent cases. I’ll be very happy if we have no more cases of any sero-group Men B,” she said. “It’s a serious disease, and hopefully nobody will get it.”

Contracting meningitis B can mean death within hours or days, or loss of limbs.

The number of students already vaccinated, or on the path to vaccination is out pacing other universities.

At other universities, about onethird of the target population has been vaccinated. So far, the University is drawing close to more than one-third already.

“It’s gone extremely well,” Lasky said.

Those aiding with the effort are not just those working in Student Health, Lasky said. Student Affairs, Occupational Health, Rutgers Environmental Health and Safety, Student Insurance, emergency medical services and student volunteers have been crucial fixtures in the smoothness of the process.

Even Residence Life is making sure students are on some sort of path towards vaccination before giving out keys to dormitories.

“When you do something this massive, and this important you

really need to pull a lot of people together from within the University” Lasky said.

They want people waiting as little time as possible.

“I thought it was super easy. I thought it would take a lot longer.

I think they did it really well,” said Taleen Demirdjian, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences junior.

She has recently received her first dose through the clinic that was on College Avenue Monday afternoon.

“I am concerned about (meningitis B),” she said.

She said Rutgers is making an effort to inform students about the dangers of Meningitis B, not just raising awareness of the outbreak.

She did not opt for the fast track option, but still found the process to be very quick. Those working at the clinic were informed, and willing to answer any questions.

They also provide snacks and Tylenol, she said.

“I think we’re doing pretty darn good,” Lasky said.

a m sitting at a desk in my dorm’s lounge, attempting to separate Jane Austen’s ironic and burlesque disposition SYEDA KHAULA SAAD from the actual naivety of Marianne Dashwood in “Sense and Sensibility,” when I overhear my “men and women should be equal, but I’m not really a feminist” floor mate speaking to our male friend about why he “hates today’s feminists.” Disregarding the fact that this is the same male friend who points out to me how excessive the girl passing us on the street’s makeup is, while in the same breath reassuring me that he “doesn’t mind” mine, I begin to dwell upon what I, being a member of “today’s feminists,” have done so horribly wrong to offend him. His opinion is one that is common within contemporary society, but why?

“Today’s feminists” are simply the evolved state of the feminists of the 19th century. From the 1830s to 1900s, the political movement of feminism focused primarily on the advancement of political prowess for women. Getting women to begin to trickle into the political world meant getting their opinions to follow suit. By fighting for women’s rights for political voices, the feminists of the first wave were fighting for the inclusion of women’s concerns and rights in the nation. The 1960s to 1980s shifted gears and began to shed light on the issues that women faced in their workplace, whether that be in an office or a home. An emphasis on reproductive rights was also developed.

This gave passageway to the third wave of feminism — this being the one that seems to upset so many individuals. From the 1990s to present day, the age of feminism has developed into a sort of hybrid age. The third wave of feminism can be considered to have multiple sub-waves. The Washington Post describes these waves as “shaped less by a struggle against oppression than by a collective embrace of individual freedoms.” Rather than specific common goals, today’s feminists fight for equality in various aspects of their lives. So what about this is such a problem to people? It is simple: These people think we have grown enough.

The common plea that is heard by those who oppose intersectional feminism is that we have already achieved all of the equality that there is to gain, and that our focus should remain on those who have not come to this same position of elevation. The problem with this think-

MY V IS FOR VICTORY

“The problem with this thinking is the underlying assertion that another person’s worse situation should overshadow your own.” ing is the underlying assertion that another person’s worse situation should overshadow your own. There is a plethora of liberties that have been granted to women in the United States that have not been given to women abroad. Fighting for these liberties to be actualized is a mission of any feminist today. However, this does not mean that they cannot have other missions in their own micro-politics. The issue that women are paid less than men in the same position (the assumed face of the feminist movement) is nowhere even remotely near to the severity of the fact that women in underdeveloped countries are subjected to being thrown acid on for rejecting men — but today’s feminism never said that it was. Today’s feminism is merely saying that both of these situations are problems. In fact, today’s feminism is saying that the smaller scale problems may even give way to the larger cases of sexism that are apparent today. Regarding women as less in any manner — whether it be the way the media portrays her, or men assuming they have the right to dictate what a woman wears — all contribute to an overall attitude of inferiority of women.

Oftentimes, the opposing side loves to bring up the “Free the Nipple!” campaign to exemplify how “twisted” and “useless” today’s women’s movement is. I have heard people comment that the movement is merely a way for “girls to get naked and objectify themselves in the way they claim they do not want to be.” Lina Esco, creator of the “Free the Nipple!” campaign, explains that her work is not to “just show breasts,” but focus on the conversation of censorship and choice. When a woman is subjected to being told which parts of her are not to be shown while they are to be shown on men, things become skewed. Once a woman’s body is regarded differently than that of a man’s, she as a person and an entity begins to be regarded differently.

What my male friend fails to realize is that everyone’s feminism is different. That is what this new wave is about. My feminism is fighting against the sexual violence of girls, but my feminism is also you not telling me what amount of makeup is acceptable to you. And if I want the option of being able to flash a nipple while I’m at it, well then, that’s okay too.

Philippines’ drug war does not justify extra-judicial killings A SOPHISTICATED THO(UGH)T RACHEL LANDINGIN

T

he newly elected president of the Philippines has come into Western media’s spotlight for his brash behavior and his strong ­handed “war on drugs” campaign and policies in order to clean up the Philippines. Many even call him the Philippines’ Donald Trump. According to Rishi Iyengar’s Time article, President Rodrigo Duterte’s campaign has so far claimed more than 2,400 extra­judicial killings of alleged drug users and drug dealers since the start of his presidency over a month ago.

Furthermore, after getting world­wide attention for human rights violations under his presidency, in addition to his response to it with an “I don’t care about human rights” statement, Duterte proves to be a difficult politician to pinpoint to the political left or right.

On one hand, he presents himself as a president who identifies with the lower class, hailing from the underrepresented southern region of Mindanao, a criticizer of the country’s crony capitalism and an outspoken criticizer of U.S. imperialism. On the other hand, his solution to the country’s problems is a presidency that uses the war on drugs as a scapegoat to the structural issues in Philippine government that hampers development.

Like many former colonies in the global South, the Philippines is in a post­industrial arms race where developing countries are forced to cut corners and pull whatever resources they have to win in the neoliberal world stage.

In this case, Duterte’s campaign against crime and drugs are these quick fixes that disregard the issues that result from the country’s colonial history. The killings of alleged drug users and dealers — the front men of the drug economy — also serves as an analogy of how this authoritarian-leaning

to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s, he unabashedly throws back the criticisms of human rights violations under his regime by calling out the hypocrisy of the U.N. and the U.S. on the war in Syria and racialized police brutality by basically saying that they shouldn’t dare to tell how to run his country when they also have blood on their hands. With an anti-­ imperialistic remark, Duterte states that, “I am not beholden to Obama, my master is the Filipino people.”

With statements like this, it is not surprising that he receives a 91 percent trust

“With an anti­-imperialistic remark, Duterte states that ‘I am not beholden to Obama, my master is the Filipino people.’” regime merely imposes an undirected post­ colonial rage at the fruits of colonialism, rather than focusing on structures colonizers left behind and inhibit the country’s progress.

The people of the Philippines are desperate for change, and they are ready to ride the fast­-paced neoliberal wave and benefit from the growing wealth in Asia, such as the kind of progress and economic fertility of their neighboring countries such as South Korea and Singapore.

And this is what makes Duterte’s presidency peculiar and some­what unbelievable.

Disregarding Duterte’s reputation for his emotional and foul­mouthed remarks, similar

rating from the Filipino people on a July poll. This shows how his recent actions undermine the nature of a democratic society, but are highly defended in a Filipino collectivist culture that is willing for a strong ­hand to shape up the country.

The conflict arises between the definitions of what it means for the Philippines to progress. Filipinos are aware of the way centuries worth of colonialism resulting in a state full of oligarchs.

It was a state run by the richest families, many of which were mestizos of many kinds, such as Chinese­-Filipino and Spanish-Filipino people that own most of the

Philippines’ land and the businesses — a state that was crippled from U.S. policies as a result of the United States’ desire to hold onto its interest in Asia’s economic growth.

The Philippine economy has been crippled for centuries as a result of the colonial extraction of its vast natural resources. The Filipino people know their worth as a hard­ working society with a strong­work force that is capable of adapting a cosmopolitan attitude and image. Many have gone on to become overseas workers and become a force in the gendered, emotional labor in home­care, patient care and education for the benefit of their Western masters.

However, the Philippines is still wrought with poor infrastructures, rising poverty and a slow-­moving and corrupt bureaucratic system that people are fed up with. They are so fed up that many are quick to defend unjustified killings of human lives, because it promises that getting rid of the undesirables of Filipino society would lead to an economic prosperity.

When narco-­ politics, poverty and a crippling economy contributes to the poor quality of life and slow deaths of the majority of Filipinos, is 2,400 lives of alleged criminals worth it?

Apple removes headphone jacks from new iPhone model Harshel Patel Digital Editor

On Wednesday, Sept. 7, Apple held a press event and announced the iPhone 7, which features two camera lenses and a new processor, will not have a headphone jack.

Removing the headphone jack makes it possible for additions to other internal parts of the phone, such as a larger battery cell and the advanced processor.

But the announcement to remove the headphone jack was highly controversial, as users will now have to use the Lightning port for their earbuds. This prevents users from being able to simultaneously use their earbuds and charge their phone, according to the site.

To combat this, Apple also announced the release of new wireless headphones, called AirPods, which connect to the phone via Bluetooth technology.

Bluetooth is a “global wireless communication standard that connects devices together over a certain distance.”

Rather than using wires, Bluetooth devices have computer chips containing radios and use radio waves to connect. Devices can connect to each other through

a process called “pairing,” according to the site.

An alternative technology that avoids wires is infrared (IR) light, which is a frequency of light lower than the human eye can recognize. An example of IR light usage in technology is a television remote control.

IR signals must be lined up between the devices using it, and only two devices can be connected. For example, a television remote must be pointed at the television in order to work, and the remote can only work on that one television, according to the site.

Bluetooth devices transmit information at a frequency of 2.45 gigahertz, the same frequency used by baby monitors and cordless phones. To avoid interfering with those systems, Bluetooth signals are very weak, with a range of only about 10 feet.

These devices communicate to each other over a network, called a “piconet,” that can contain two to eight devices, with one device sending information and the rest listening along, according to the Bluetooth website.

A special technique is used to prevent transmitters from mistakenly communicating with each other. Transmitters constantly switch between 79 random

frequencies in a given range, making it highly unlikely two transmitters mistakenly communicate on the same frequency, according to the site.

Piconets move together as the transmitter’s frequency changes, preventing the signal from getting lost at any time, according to the site.

Perks of Bluetooth devices include low power usage, ease of use and low cost, according to the Bluetooth website.

Headphone jacks work in a different way, employing the use of a wire and magnets to create a closed circuit and subsequently create sound.

A current is passed through the earbud wire, which eventually reaches a permanent magnet at the end that pushes the air to produce a sound, according to the site.

The segments at the metal end of an earbud plug show where each signal will go. Many earbuds have three segments, one sending currents to each ear and the third being shared by both sides. Earbuds with microphones have a fourth segment, according to the site.

While Bluetooth earbuds need ver y little power to power the Bluetooth radio, wired

The iPhone 7 will feature some water resistance and a longer battery life, but it is missing the headphone jack most media devices use. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY DIMITRI RODRIGUEZ / PHOTO EDITOR earbuds do not require any power once connected to the device, according to StereoCompare, a “digital magazine focused on the audio market.”

Bluetooth earbuds are also held back by their need to have data compressed before its transmission to the earbuds. This means that more complex sounds will appear distorted, as the audio stream size is reduced before being sent to the earbuds, according to the site.

Conversely, wired earbuds do not require compression and can take the audio data in its intended form. As such, there is no audio distortion or loss of clarity, according to the site.

Although Bluetooth earbuds lose some quality, they do not have wires that tangle, and the technology is still ver y useful in other areas where wireless communication is preferable, such as wireless printing and keyboard usage.

Donigan accepts that his players are still young and learning, but he knows they know about the rigorous schedule

shutout win,” Whitley said. “We wanted to have fun out there and obviously we did that.”

Included in the fun was an unassisted goal from forward Jenna Seddon in the 77th minute for her first goal of the season, and just her second in her four-year career.

Senior forward Erica Murphy scored her first goal as well after recently transferring from Monmouth.

Expected to be an impact player on this young Rutgers roster, Murphy was extremely excited to get the monkey off her back and enter the scorer’s table.

“Obviously, it’s great as a striker to be able to finally add to the team,” Murphy said. “I’ve had my ups and downs thus far and it’s been frustrating, but I can now just play my game.”

Murphy and the Knights looked like a complete team versus Drexel, with 25 of the 27 players getting minutes on the pitch.

Coach O’Neill had his team focus on getting better every day and making sure the team’s confidence continues to grow.

“This weekend, it was vital for the team to execute the game plan, but more importantly to believe,” O’Neill said. “We’re 27 strong and that depth really showed today.”

Both matches were true team efforts with the squad coming out guns blazing with something to prove.

“After that hiccup against Georgetown we needed to have a statement weekend,” Whitley said. “We don’t want to lose at home ever again.”

they’ve played so far this season and isn’t phased by their unattractive early season record.

“Look, they’re college age kids, and you can say they’re questioning themselves a little bit,” Donigan said. “But they also know that they play an incredible schedule, one of the toughest in the countr y. There’s still a lot of soccer to be played, and we need to realize that we’re in this for the long haul.

We’re not in this just to have a pretty record in the early part of the season.”

The long haul seems like the right definition of his team’s schedule.

After Maryland, Rutgers plays away at Ohio State, hosts the Hoosiers and Florida Gulf Coast and then hits the road for Wisconsin.

Rutgers realizes a tighter game defensively is a must in order to equalize its record, and it knows a solid team can turn this around in a moment.

“We’re definitely going to rally together and be supportive of whoever,” said junior for ward Ryan Peterson. “Going back to the training round, working hard and staying positive, its all about the key moments in games where we put our heads down and that’s when the other teams get on us that we have to control. Ninety minutes, 90-plus minutes, we’re a great team, and we know that and we’re just gonna stay together, and anything’s possible.”

Knights open season with 7th-place finish Jordan Farbowitz Staff Writer

It was a long off-season for the Rutgers men’s cross country, with the returning distance team not running a meet since at least May. But that didn’t stop the team from putting up some impressive times against tough competition Saturday.

The Scarlet Knights opened their season with a seventh-place finish at the Spiked Shoe Invitational, which was hosted by Penn State at University Park, Pennsylvania.

Rutgers finished the 5.2-mile race with an average team time of 27:45. Syracuse won the meet, followed by Cornell in second and Georgetown in third.

“It was good to get out there and compete again,” said head coach Mike Mulqueen.

The Knights had the option of going to a different meet — the Fordham Fiasco, which they usually run — but Mulqueen had a specific reason for competing here instead.

“The NCAA regional race will be on this course, so we wanted to see it,” he said.

There was also increased competition at Penn State, as defending national champion Syracuse was competing. The Orange ran away with the victory, producing six of the top-10 finishes and the entirety of the top three.

But despite the stiff competition, Rutgers still managed positive results.

Conor Murphy was the top performer for the Knights. The sophomore finished in 19th place overall with a time of 27:12.

“It felt great to get out there, run with the team again and get back in the swing of things against competitive schools,” Murphy said.

Sophomore Dominick Munson wasn’t too far behind.

He finished in 21st with a time of 27:13, just a second behind his teammate.

“Coach put together a summer game plan,” Munson said of his

preparation for the season. “I ran (a) lot more miles compared to last summer, so I was pretty prepared for the first race. I felt pretty good about my time, and more importantly, how I fared against some of the better competition.”

The three other Rutgers runners finished out the team’s top five were senior Nick Price, who finished 36th with a time of 27:53, junior Luke Wiley finished 49th, with a time of 28:12, and junior Trent Brinkofski, who finished 50th with a time of 28:14.

Rounding out the Knights’ squad was junior Alex Livernois, who finished 53rd, and freshman Jason Schweizer, who crossed the line 74th.

A goal for Rutgers would be to decrease the time between runners because on any given day anyone can outrun anyone else, Munson said.

“With our top seven guys, all of us can beat one another. We’re all very close,” he said. “On one day, our first guy could beat our seventh guy, and on another day, our seventh guy could beat our first guy. As a pack, we can run closer together, and if we can do that, we can beat the more competitive teams.”

This echoes the words of Mulqueen, who said that it is important to have a lower differential in future races. In the last meet, from the first to the seventh runner, it was a minute.

The Knights’ next meet is the Rider Invitational on Sept. 16 in Lawrence Township, New Jersey.

The season is still young, so Mulqueen still has a lot of time to get the best out of his runners and produce consistent results in the coming weeks.

“The outlook (for the season) is good, and the team is training hard,” he said. “We definitely raised some eyebrows,” Munson said. “Our team’s pretty young, so I think we can make some noise.”

September 13, 2016 KNIGHT NOTEBOOK SAQUAN HAMPTON OUT FOR PAIR OF WEEKS, JAWUAN HARRIS MOVES UP TO STARTER

Depth chart shifts, injury kicks off third game week Brian Fonseca Sports Editor

Chris Ash opened his weekly press conference before the Rutgers football team’s home opener last Monday by addressing his policy in addressing injuries — if it’s not long-term, it won’t be reported.

The first-year head coach also rid of the injury report that came along with the weekly depth chart, ​another change he’s made in his short time on the Banks.

So when he brought up injury in his opening statement a week later in the press conference previewing the Scarlet Knights (1-1) game against New Mexico this Saturday (noon, ESPNEWS), it shows the severity of it.

Ash announced sophomore free safety Saquan Hampton, who did not play in the Knights 5214 win over Howard in its home opener last Saturday, will be out for the “next few weeks.”

“Injury update, again, not talking a lot about injuries, but one that will be out for a while is Saquan Hampton,” he said. “He’ll miss the next few weeks. He will be back later on this season ... Not sure when we’ll get him back yet, but it won’t be for a few weeks.”

The loss of a starter on defense comes on the heels of Rutgers

returning a key starter on offense in Robert Martin.

The junior running back was atop the pecking order at his position heading into training camp according to Ash, but a nagging injury prevented him from playing in the Knights’ season-opening 48-13 loss to No. 8 Washington in Seattle.

Senior Justin Goodwin took his place at the top of the depth chart in the first two weeks of the season, but a “really good week of practice” last week earned Martin the start against the Bison. Fifteen carries and 84 yards later, the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, native returns to the top of the food chain at tailback.

“Rob had a good week of practice,” said offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer on how Martin earned the nod. “He battled through some injuries through fall camp and within the first week of the season ... (He) practiced hard, ran the ball really well for us, had good vision coming out of the backfield. Putting him into that spot was not an easy choice because the other guys have been playing well.”

While Martin’s rise back to starter wasn’t surprising, Jawuan Harris’ ascension to the top of the depth chart at wide receiver was very much not expected.

The redshirt freshman, who missed spring camp to play

centerfield for the Rutgers baseball team, leapfrogged senior Carlton Agudosi, who is now listed as a back-up to classmate Andre Patton, for the starting spot.

Harris, of St. Thomas Aquinas High School (Fla.), had two catches for 49 yards in his home debut against Howard, the second of which was a 29-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter, the last of three thrown by Laviano.

“Once he came over to football full time and we really got a chance to work with our team and our staff, he showed right away that he had the ability to potentially be a playmaker for us,” Ash said. “He had a great summer (and) had a really good training camp. I think he’s off to a pretty good start in the first two games. (I’m) anxious to see him continue to grow and progress and learn the offense and become a bigger part of our offense.”

Ash went on to lump Harris together with Martin and senior wide receiver Janarion Grant as the top playmakers on the Knights — an honor considering the impact the latter had in the offense in their first two games of the season.

A week after scoring Rutgers’ only touchdown against Washington, the Trillby, Florida, native scored three against Howard, including an 84 yard kick-off return

that shifted momentum from the Bison to the Knights.

For that return and the other 35 yards he gathered in the return game, Grant was named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week Monday morning, kicking off game week three the same way he turned his team’s latest game around — with a spark.

“An honor well-deserved,” Ash said. “He’s been an outstanding kickoff return guy and even

punt return, although he hasn’t had a lot of opportunities. He’s fielded a lot of punts, but he’s been an outstanding returner for us in the first two weeks. He’s had a tradition of doing that here throughout his career, and (I’m) excited for him to be able to receive that honor.”

FOOTBALL TYLIN ODEN RUSHED FOR 55 YARDS ON HIS ONLY DRIVE OF GAME

Freshman quarterback flashes potential on debut drive Eric Mullin Associate Sports Editor

While Chris Laviano played better than his two-turnover, seven yards-per-completion performance in the season opener, offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer wasn’t incredibly enthusiastic when asked about the Rutgers starting quarterback’s game against Howard.

“Chris Laviano played ... okay,” he said, the pause in his answer noticeable.

The junior signal-caller certainly had his ups — highlighted by three touchdown passes and 24 rushing yards out of the read option — but his interception on the Knights’ first offensive play of the game and 14yard sack that knocked the Knights out of field goal range in the second quarter held him back from having a “decent game,” Mehringer said.

If Laviano’s erratic play continues, the door will always be left open for changes at the position and Rutgers hinted it may be coming at the quarterback position in the fourth quarter.

With 12:49 left on the clock and the Knights leading 42-14, Laviano and most other starters were relieved of their duties for the day. Laviano was replaced by sophomore Giovanni Rescigno, who battled from the lower half of the depth chart in spring and training camp to the team’s No. 2 quarterback to start the season.

Rescigno was only in for one drive, but it wasn’t because of poor play. After keeping it on a read option, Rescigno broke through the grasp of three defenders at once on his way to a

True freshman quarterback Tylin Oden made his debut and showcased his speed during against Howard, rushing for 55 yards on 9 attempts. DIMITRI RODRIGUEZ / PHOTO EDITOR / SEPTEMBER 2016 42-yard touchdown run on the first rushing attempt of his career.

Rescigno’s powerful dash to the end zone was arguably the most exciting play of the day, but it was who came in at quarterback for Rutgers on the following drive that would really raise the eyebrows of those following the Knights.

Chris Ash never said one way or the other what Rutgers’ plans were regarding true freshman quarterback Tylin Oden. The dual-threat quarterback was originally committed to Louisville, but following his decommitment in January, was lured to Piscataway

by Ash and Mehringer.

Since Oden didn’t land on the training camp depth chart and was never mentioned as a serious competitor for the starting job, a redshirt season seemed to be a likely option.

Not anymore.

Oden subbed into the game with 10:22 left and immediately showed why Ash and his staff were intrigued with him as a prospect.

Running nothing but read options and designed scrambles, Oden flashed his quickness, second-gear speed and elusiveness in the open field. On a 16-play, eight-minute drive the three-star recruit rushed for 55 yards on

nine attempts, including a dash of 30 yards. “(Oden’s) still got a long way to go, but we needed to get him in there to see what he could do,” Ash said. “But, yeah, I never said we (would) redshirt him, (but) never told you we’d play him either. Just happened that the score got that way. We had conversations throughout training camp about what are we gonna do with Tylin. As he’s continued to improve and progress, he’s a guy that fits our offense and when we get the opportunity to get him in there, we’re gonna that.”

While Oden was impressive on the ground, he didn’t attempt, nor

even look to attempt, a single pass.

While that might have been by design to keep the clock ticking in the final quarter of a lopsided game, it is an area that the Columbia, Tennessee, native has to improve on.

“Tylin needs a lot of work (in the passing game),” Mehringer said. “The passing game is not something that you pick up overnight in my opinion. It takes work, there’s footwork, there’s protection issues, where to go when you’re hot, what to do against a different scheme defensively.”

Mehringer reiterated after the game that Laviano still gives the Knights the best chance to win at the quarterback position from a full-game perspective. But it’s hard to imagine that Rutgers would burn Oden’s redshirt simply to have him get reps at the backend of routs.

Oden most likely won’t be pushing Laviano for the full-time starting position any time soon, but if the Knights’ offensive staff feels like it can gain an advantage over the opposing defense in a certain situation with a mobile quarterback, the freshman could be used in a situational, two-quarterback system.

“We wanna prepare for the best chance for our offense and for our team to win, whatever that may look like. I asked in Tylin how he felt about that specific scenario and he was great with it,” Mehringer said on the prospects of Oden playing in a two-quarterback system. “Is he gonna jump in there and get more reps, I know that’s gonna be the follow-up question, I don’t know yet.”

WOMEN’S SOCCER NO. 23 RUTGERS 5, DREXEL 0

Rutgers rebounds with 2 wins at home Alex Gold Staff Writer

Senior forward Erica Murphy notched her first goal as a Scarlet Knight in Rutgers’ in a 5-0 win against Drexel on Sunday. Murphy transferred to Rutgers from Monmouth.

EDWIN GANO / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / AUGUST 2016

On the eve of Rutgers’ first home football game, all eyes were on Yurcak Field as the Rutgers women’s soccer team took on Cornell Friday night.

After a defeat at the hands of Georgetown that broke the Scarlet Knights’ streak of 18 straight home matches without a loss, it was of paramount importance for the squad to earn a win.

Although the final score was 2-0 in Rutgers’ favor, at halftime, it didn’t look like it would go that way.

“We talk so much about confidence and playing with purpose,” said head coach Mike O’Neill. “In the first half, we did some of that, but not consistently, and then at halftime we spoke about it.”

The players responded correspondingly with a dominating second half where senior Jessica Puchalski and freshman Carina Hendley each added a goal in the 71st and 86th minute respectively.

After sophomore Kenie Wright flew a corner kick into the box, the ball skipped around in front of Cornell goalkeeper Meghan Kennedy and was deflected by several Big Red defenders before Puchalski took advantage, scoring her first goal of the young season.

Hendley’s shot was a fitting culmination of pretty playmaking from multiple Knights.

The rookie headed the ball to junior Colby Ciarrocca, who gathered and passed it back to Hendley inside the left side of the 18-yard box.

The Irvine, California, native then fired a shot to the back of the net by the right post for her first career goal.

The underrated story of the game was once again the excellent defense.

Rutgers earned its third shutout of the season, allowing only four shots against Cornell, which tied for the fewest this year.

The Knights made it four clean sheets two days later, when they defeated Drexel 5-0.

Freshman midfielder Nicole Whitley had her hands — or more appropriately, her feet — all over this one.

The Freehold, New Jersey, resident notched three assists to move her total to six on the season, which leads the squad.

She set up Hendley on the first one less than 10 minutes into the match on a beautiful combination of moves to drive up the field.

Fifteen minutes later, Whitley found leading goal scorer senior captain Madison Tiernan on the left side of the box for an easy finish down the middle.

It was Tiernan’s fourth score of the season, and with a later assist to Ciarrocca, she is now only 7 goals away from tenth on the all-time scoring list.

Tiernan actually combined with Whitley for the assist, which came in the 48th minute and gave Whitley her third of the day.

Whitley broke through two defenders and played on to Tiernan, who deflected it to Ciarrocca for a simple finish.

Knights host top-5 foe in biggest test yet Bret Levinson

“We just gotta get a lucky break here or there,” said head coach Dan Donigan.

“And once we do get that positive result, things can maybe take off and turn in the other direction.”

The Terrapins (3-0-1) have defeated Hartford, a serious contender in Georgetown, USF and tied last Friday on the road against No. 4 Indiana, conceding just three goals in the four games.

But Donigan’s players realize who is coming onto their turf Tuesday, and they know this may be their best opponent all year so they are ready for a challenge, knowing full well what must be done.

“We’ll have a set plan and we’ll all get on the same page,” said junior centerback Neil Guzman. “I think that this might be the best team we play all year, and we need to realize that and defensively, we need to be organized the entire 90 minutes. Coming into that game, we’ll just keep our heads up high and have the

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

And for the Rutgers men’s soccer team, the going has gotten tough and the tough must get going.

The Scarlet Knights have stumbled out to a 0-4 start this season and haven’t scored a single goal in 360 minutes of action.

It’s been weeks that this offense has been trying to get on the scoreboard, but there are still no results.

Tough opponents such as No. 14 Creighton, No. 11 Denver, No. 9 Charlotte and conference opponent Michigan State on the road have been the opponents keeping Rutgers in a hole that it has yet to escape.

But with Tuesday’s matchup with No. 5 Maryland approaching, the Knights hope to wipe the bad losses away and start over in the right direction with most of the season still left still to play.
