Board of Governors convene for urgent meeting on Friday NIKHILESH DE CORRESPONDENT

The Rutgers University Board of Governors met on Friday in an emergency session to discuss the recent controversies surrounding the Scarlet Knights football team.

Three members of the board attended the meeting in person, while the remaining members teleconferenced in, according to NJ.com.

After convening, the board immediately voted to enter a closed session and leave the public area, said Carl Blesch, science coordinator University News and Media Relations.

Board members would not speak publicly after the session ended, Blesch said.

The meeting was announced on Wednesday due to the fact that the entire board would be discussing the issue, he said.

The University is not required to disclose meetings between only a few members of the board.

According to the initial notice by the University, the topics SEE MEETING ON PAGE 4

Rutgers pledges to be bully free with ‘Day 1’ campaign

The “Day 1” campaign, an initiative to stop bullying and harassment, was brought to Rutgers at the beginning of the year, where Richard L. Edwards, chancellor of Rutgers— New Brunswick, read the pledge aloud at first-year convocation on Aug. 30 and asked for verbal confirmation from students. Since the cyberbully-driven suicide of Tyler Clementi on Sept. 22, 2010, Rutgers has acted strongly against all forms of bullying and harassment.

Nearly five years after the death of Rutgers student Tyler Clementi, preventative actions against bullying are still a top priority for both faculty and those close to Clementi’s stor y.

Rutgers faculty and incoming students par ticipated in the “Day 1” campaign when Richard L. Edwards, chancellor of Rutgers—New Brunswick, read the pledge at the Aug. 30 first-year student convocation.

“It’s amazing — I think thousands of students heard this,” said Sean

Kosofsky, executive director of the Tyler Clementi Foundation, adding how Rutgers was one of the first colleges the foundation went to with their campaign.

The Tyler Clementi Foundation was formed in 2010 after Tyler Clementi, a first-year student, died by suicide after being cyber-bullied

at Rutgers, the foundation’s website said.

The “Day 1” campaign asks a person of authority to read a script aloud to a body of individuals — usually students — saying what behavior is expected and what is not tolerated, Kosofsky said.

­­VOLUME 147, ISSUE 54 • UNIVERSITY ... 3 • OTW... 6 • OPINIONS... 8 • DIVERSIONS ... 10 • CLASSIFIEDS ... 12 • SPORTS ... BACK

The authority figure then asks for a verbal confirmation that the instruction was understood, said Kosofsky. This method sets the tone instead of handing out some policy students do not end up reading.

Students get popcorn ready for GOP debate

NIKHILESH DE CORRESPONDENT

With 15 competitors running, a Republican candidate for president needs to make their positions on national issues known. One of their best opportunities is during the primary debates, the first of which took place last month.

The Eagleton Institute of Politics will host “Popcorn and Politics,” a debate watch for the Republican debate tomorrow, said Elizabeth Matto, director of the Youth Political Participation Program within the Institute.

“It’s an opportunity to watch the debate (and also to) have a free-flowing discussion on what (students) saw,” she said. “Students who are interested in coming together (can) learn about (the candidates).”

Matto said she hopes students will attend and learn about the different GOP candidates.

“A lot of us pay attention to politics for the spectacle,” she said. “I’m sure there’s going to be plenty of one-liners and zingers but we also want students to pay attention to the content. We want students to listen critically to what the candidates are saying.”

especially when compared to previous generations.

Candidates also do not typically campaign on millennial issues due to their voting record, she said.

“One thing we’re seeing with young adults in particular, because they’re an unreliable voting bloc (is that) Republicans and Democrats won’t always reach out to them,” she said.

Spending time on these potential voters is a risk, she said. There are also financial concerns for candidates who want the greatest number of votes possible.

There will be two registration drives this month, Matto said. On Constitution Day, Sept. 17, and National Voter Registration Day, Sept. 22, RU Voting will be on campus to register students.

Students unsure of how to vote, where to vote or who they can vote for, can find resources on the Youth Political Participation Program’s website, she said.

“I hope that students will see that their vote matters,” Onifade said. “(I hope) through these debate watches they feel like they are given the opportunity to make an educated, informed vote.”

discussed included potential litigation in addition to the athletics issues.

Rutgers head football coach Kyle Flood said he knew of the meeting but not of what would be discussed after practice Thursday, according to the Asbur y Park Press.

University President Robert L. Barchi said the board had a “robust conversation” after the meeting ended. He did not elaborate on the topics discussed, citing attorney-client privileges.

The discussion lasted about an hour and a half, according to NJ.com. Mar tin Perez,

a member of the board present at the meeting, said it was “productive” and involved “serious issues.”

The meeting was announced sometime after the New Jersey branch of the American Association of University Professors-American Federation of Teachers (AAUP-AFT) formally requested an investigation into Flood’s alleged email to a faculty member concerning a student athlete’s grade.

It is impor tant that faculty members, including par t-time lecturers, remain independent of potential inter ference from Rutgers Athletics, said David Hughes, a professor in the Depar tment of Anthropology.

The Rutgers Board of Governors called for an emergency meeting on Friday, Sept. 11 to discuss the controversies encircling the University football team in recent weeks. The event, which was closed off to the press, fostered “robust conversation,” University President Robert L. Barchi said.

Professor shot, killed at Mississippi’s Delta State University JACKSON, Miss. (Reuters) A Mississippi college professor was shot and killed in his campus office on Monday, and police said a fellow Delta State University teacher was “a person of interest” in the shooting.

Authorities said they were searching for geography and social science instructor Shannon Lamb in connection with the killing of Ethan Schmidt, an assistant professor of American history.

Lamb was also a suspect in the killing of a woman in Mississippi earlier on Monday, police said.

The shooting left students and staff at the Cleveland, Mississippi, school on edge for several hours as police locked down the campus and searched buildings following reports of active gunfire.

Cleveland Police Chief Charles “Buster” Bingham told an afternoon news conference that authorities did not believe Lamb was still on the campus, which is near the Arkansas-Mississippi state line.

The killing was the latest in a series of shootings on U.S. college campuses in recent weeks, including deadly incidents at Sacramento City College in California, Texas Southern University and Georgia’s Savannah State University.

Bingham would not comment on Lamb’s possible connection to Schmidt.

Colleagues said they had no idea about a possible motive.

“We’re all clueless,” said professor Charles Westmoreland, who

taught history with Schmidt. “It’s been a terrible day.”

Westmoreland was teaching when he heard multiple shots coming from Schmidt’s office. A swift and orderly evacuation followed, he said.

Lamb was also being sought in an earlier shooting in Gautier, a town 300 miles (480 km) south of Delta State on the Mississippi Gulf coast.

Gautier police detective Matt Hoggatt said Lamb, 45, was wanted in connection with the death of Amy Prentiss, 41, with whom he shared a home.

He said Lamb was last seen driving a black 2011 Dodge Avenger with license plates from Stone County in south Mississippi.

Local media reported that Lamb called Gautier police to report the killing.

Lamb’s Facebook page had numerous photos of Prentiss, whom he called his “Sweet Baby Angel,” in one photo post.

After receiving his doctorate in July, Lamb wrote he had “tried to maintain a relationship with the best girl in the whole wide world. (Amy Prentiss).”

Delta State officials said no students were injured in the campus shooting, which occurred in Jobe Hall, which houses the Division of Social Sciences and Histor y.

‘DEVASTATED’ “I couldn’t have asked for a greater friend and colleague,” Westmoreland said of Schmidt.

“He was warm and friendly to

The school remained locked down as authorities searched for the shooter on campus. REUTERS ever yone and extremely involved in campus life.”

Schmidt was married with three children, he said.

“My colleagues and I are devastated by all of the news,” added Garry Jennings, a Delta State political science professor.

Schmidt, 39, was an excellent scholar and gifted teacher who went “beyond the call of duty” in his teaching, Jennings

said in an email to Reuters. He was working with Schmidt on a program on Native Americans in November.

All classes at Delta State were canceled on Monday, as well as Tuesday, when events had been planned to commemorate the university’s 90th anniversar y.

The slain professor earned a doctorate in early American his-

tor y and Native American histor y from the University of Kansas and taught for six years at Texas Tech University before joining the faculty at Delta State, according to his school biography.

More than 4,000 students are enrolled in the public university, 120 miles (195 km) northwest of Jackson, Mississippi.

Politicans, Americans learned little from 9/11 attacks THE CHAMPAGNE SOCIALIST JOSE SANCHEZ

F

our teen years after 9/11 and the “War on Terror” is still a disastrous failure.

After those attacks, the names of al-Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri were on everyone’s lips. But now, it’s ISIS and its shadowy “caliph” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi that has everyone spooked. The two jihadi juggernauts are famously hostile to each other, particularly after bin Laden’s May 2011 assassination. This crippled al-Qaeda and allowed al-Baghdadi to step in to expand operations in a dismembered, post-invasion Iraq. “We do not acknowledge this Caliphate, and we do not see it as (a) Caliphate on the prophetic method. Instead, it is an emirate of taking over without consultation,” complains al-Zawahiri in a recent broadside.

Nevertheless, al-Zawahiri has also urged cooperation in “fighting the Crusaders, the secularists, the Nusayris and the Safavids, despite my not acknowledging the legitimacy of their State ...” And, Al-Qaeda’s making a wise choice here. Though always a scourge, a “non-state” agent like them never controlled anything really like a “state” in the conventional sense. Neither did the Taliban after they were bombed out of Afghanistan and into the neighboring Pakistani mountains, nor did al-Shabaab in Somalia nor Boko Haram in Nigeria. ISIS on the other hand, owns a Mesopotamian territory across Iraq and Syria, administering religious courts, basic social services, their own currency and an army numbering in the tens of thousands. With Iraq in tatters and sectarian tensions stoked

between Sunni and Shia, ISIS has found a breeding ground in Iraq even after years of occupation by the United States. Nice job, Dick and Bush.

The dismembering of Iraq and Afghanistan under the occupation of the U.S. and its allies has turned them into hotbeds of terror, where jihadis recruit, gather and train.

From 1987 to 2001, the State Department’s own “Patterns of Global Terrorism” documented terrorism’s steady decline worldwide. There were 665 incidents in 1987 to only 355 incidents in 2001. And, although there was a dip in the years immediately after 2001, the 2004 report showed that attacks increased to 2,177 and kept increasing. Yet, it didn’t include attacks on U.S.

The rise of ISIS alone ought to make the case for the War on Terror’s failure. Insistent on a regime change policy, the West and its allies, namely Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the rest of the oil-rich Gulf states flooded Syria with weaponry after it descended into civil strife months after the March 2011 uprising. Under the pretense of aiding a “moderate” opposition, the kings and emirs of Arabia backed Sunni extremists groups against the Shia-dominated though secular Assad dictatorship which was backed by Russia and Iran. These groups adhere to the austere Wahhabi movement of Sunni Islam, born in eighteenth-century Saudi Arabia and the official ideology of the absolutist monarchy today. Admittedly, the U.S. has a

“The rise of ISIS alone ought to make the case for the War on Terror’s failure.

Suicide bombings, non-existent in recorded modern Iraqi history, reappeared only after the occupation.

As reported in National Geographic in 2013, a PLOS Medicine survey found that half a million Iraqis died between 2003 and 2011, while the London-based Opinion Research Business put it at some 1.2 million dead civilians. As for the displaced, in 2007, the United Nations estimated the number of Iraqi refugees to be some 4 million, including some 1.2 million in Syria. With 80-90 percent of these displaced people settling in Damascus, demands for services and necessities increases, further straining Bashar al-Assad’s authoritarian regime and paving the way for its collapse.

history of giving guns to medieval-minded Islamists the world over, starting with the anti-Soviet Afghan mujahideen during the Reagan years and even today with Libyan militias after Obama decided to contravene Congress to militarily intervene in Libya’s iteration of the Arab Spring. Indeed, the 9/11 Commission’s report, citing the CIA, has already concluded that al-Qaeda’s support comes from “a variety of donors and fundraisers, primarily in the Gulf countries and particularly in Saudi Arabia.” Now, the Saudis with billions of dollars of U.S. arms are currently bombing Yemeni rebels as well, some years after suppressing a pro-democracy movement in neighboring Bahrain. So with Gulf/Saudi money, extremist,

misogynistic and violent Wahhabi-oriented Islamists gather strength in whatever place the West tears up — be it Iraq, Somalia, Libya and Nigeria, even with an increased U.S. presence on the African continent.

As for the home front, U.S. Muslims have faced nothing but popular and institutionalized bigotry. Three young Muslims were shot by a white man last February in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, over a “parking dispute,” while Islamophobes protest outside a Phoenix, Arizona, mosque and Southern gun-owners declare their shops “Muslim-free” zones. Ironically, the violence of ISIS is taken as an excuse for such hatred even though Muslims are the vast majority of their victims. The Public Polling Policy found that most of the supporters of the Republican frontrunner Donald Trump believe that Obama is a foreign-born Muslim turned Manchurian candidate. Another contender, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee accused Obama of stabbing Jews and Christians in the back and giving Muslims a “pass” back in February. Meanwhile, offshore on noted Stalinist hellscape Cuba, Obama has yet to close the torture site at Gitmo or even bring the Bush administration officials who allowed for such practices to happen to justice.

And really, I wish I had the space to continue here. The 9/11 attack was a tragedy and that can’t be denied. We had the sympathy of the world that sunny day and by launching this war on a nameless, ever-present evil, a war on countries abroad and marginalized communities at home, we squandered that goodwill. We’ve learned nothing from 9/11.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Understanding postWWII German peace process is not simple In the Sept. 4 letter to the editor, George Pieczenik falsely claims that Germany “never even signed a peace treaty, just an armistice” following their defeat in the Second World War. George is incorrect, and overlooks the complex and important history of the German state following their loss in 1945.

Pieczenik has failed, in his historical and political analysis, to look beyond the German Instrument of Surrender (GIS), signed on May 8, 1945, which brings about an official ceasefire and official end to armed German resistance. Pieczenik seems to believe that the armistice that ended the Second World War also brought about the end of the German peace process — he is incorrect.

Following the signing of the GIS, the victorious allied powers, chiefly the United

“

States, Soviet Union, United Kingdom and provisional French government, took steps to legally dissolve the German state and bring about the legal grounds in which a formal occupation and partition of Germany could be undertaken. On June 5, 1945 the Berlin Declaration was signed.

The Declaration, along with further detailing the logistics of the German surrender, officially dissolves all of Germany’s governing bodies, laying the groundwork

maintenance of order, the administration of the country and compliance with the requirements of the victorious Powers.”

With this declaration, Germany lost its sovereignty and was partitioned on the grounds that the German people could not govern themselves. This declaration, along with the occupation of Germany and the stunted sovereignty of the German state, remained the status quo until Sept.

To quote the second paragraph of the Declaration: “There is no central Government or authority in Germany capable of accepting responsibility for the

and West Germany, as well as Germany’s “Plus Four” (plus-Vier, the Allied states that partitioned the German state) signed the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany.

This treaty laid the groundwork for German unification and is the peace treaty that ends Germany’s Second World War. For Germany, the Second World War does not end in 1945 with the GIS. Germany, despite the Marshall Plan, and despite the advent of pro-NATO (West Germany) and pro- Moscow (East Germany) governments, remained partitioned until 1991, when the Final Settlement went into effect and remained occupied until the Allied forces were withdrawn in 1994.

Pieczenik’s view of Germany’s peace process is shortsighted and overlooks the complex nature of devolution, occupation, peace and unification. This lack of depth and analysis undermines the heart of Pieczenik’s letter and unnecessarily deducts from his credibility.

He must understand that the victorious powers did sign a peace treaty with the German state.

FIELD HOCKEY

Knights remain focused on Nittany Lions after suspension, arrest of senior captain CONTINUED FROM BACK Without one of the team’s four captains, who chose not to declare for the NFL Draft at the end of the 2014 season and cited unfinished business at Rutgers as why he wanted to return for his senior year, some others have had to step up.

One of those is Quentin Gause. The senior captain and strong side linebacker said that there has been a collective effort by the Knights in the locker room to block the off-field buzz out, especially after the latest turn of events.

“You’ve got other guys on the team as well. You’ve got guys that will step up and play a big role as well,” Gause said of the team’s leadership and focus.

“For me, it doesn’t really affect me much. All it is, is to be a much more harder leader to be a better leader for my teammates.”

Junior defensive tackle Julian Pinnix-Odrick echoed those sentiments, reiterating the emphasis placed on Rutgers coming together as the team enters a pivotal matchup.

With a 1-1 record, the importance of the rematch with the Nittany Lions cannot be overstated.

Throw in the wrench of the Carroo hoopla and the Knights could be looking at a potential must-win game that could have huge implications on where the team ends up as it attempts to progress through the season and into the gauntlet of Big Ten play.

But Pinnix-Odrick assured that everyone is on the same page.

“No matter what type of situation we’re hit with, as a team, we have to respond with putting your head down and working and controlling what you can control,” he said. “I mean, I can only control what Julian controls, Coach Flood can only control what Coach Flood controls and that is the same for every player.

And if I can’t do anything about the situation, I have to do what’s best for my team. … We’re always supportive of our family and we always have our family’s back, so we’re real defensive on anything in that front.” *** While Carroo’s status for the remainder of the season remains a mystery, one wide receiver’s role in an upperclassmen-laden position group could see his role increased tremendously when Rutgers takes on Penn State.

On Monday, junior Janarion Grant was named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week by the conference. The honor comes after the Trilby, Florida, native shattered the Knights’ program record for all-purpose yards in a single game after he rattled off 339 against Washington State on Saturday.

“It’s wonderful. It’s a great feeling,” Grant said. “I didn’t know anything about it. I saw it mentioned on Facebook, people from my hometown putting it up.

It feels really special. I put a lot of work in and it just shows.”

When Rutgers needed it most, Grant took the game into his own hands.

After bringing the Knights back into the game with an electrifying 100-yard kickoff return

for a touchdown in the third quarter, lightning struck twice when Grant weaved his way through the Cougars’ kicking team on a 55-yard punt return for a touchdown to give Rutgers what would have been the game-winning touchdown in a 37-34 loss.

Flood acknowledged the returner’s honor, crediting Grant’s role in keeping the game winnable after Washington State went up 20-6 as Rutgers struggled to sustain drives on offense.

“I think an award and an honor that he certainly is deserving of this week after his performance on Saturday,” Flood said. “That’s exciting to see, two weeks in a row, to score on special teams the way he did, it’s going to make us a better football team.”

Grant, who also hauled in five receptions for 65 yards and took one carry on a jet sweep for 21 yards on the ground, showed flashes of how far he has come since inheriting a bigger role on the offense this season.

After working in the off-season to bolster his overall abilities as a receiver from a mental standpoint in learning the playbook to becoming more physical running routes and catching balls, Grant foresaw this in training camp when he told the media how he felt entering his third season on the Banks.

And with the team’s most potent weapon sidelined indefinitely as his status remains unclear following the suspension, Grant feels more than ready to take on the larger slice of the pie if necessary.

“All the receiver group core (has more of a responsibility without Carroo),” Grant said.

“Once one guy’s gone, another one has to step up. That’s the way we look at it.” *** For the third game in a row, Rutgers will be without a senior captain not named Carroo.

Senior defensive tackle Darius Hamilton, an integral piece to the Knights’ defense in the trenches, is listed as “out” for Saturday’s Big Ten opener at Penn State.

He has not practiced in over one month with a lower body injury. Barring a miracle late in the week, he’ll likely sit out for the rematch with the Nittany Lions.

“I think when a player like Darius is not in the lineup, you miss him no matter who you play against,” Flood said. “Darius could have helped us last week and if he’s not available this week, we’ll miss him this week.”

Pinnix-Odrick, who rooms with Hamilton and has been starting in his place at the three-point technique, talked about what it has been like without one of the cornerstones of the defensive line.

“He’s one of the fiercest competitors I know,” Pinnix-Odrick said. “It kills him. He’s doing all that he can to get healthy and the things to do to get back out there with us. I see him everyday and we talk about things. He’s definitely trying to be there as much as he can with the team while preparing himself.”

RU senior sparks offensive fire KAYLEE POFAHL STAFF WRITER

It may seem like the finale, but this is only the beginning.

Already snatching career firsts and setting career highs just over two weeks into the season, Rutgers field hockey’s Nicole Imbriaco has hit the ground running in her senior year on the Banks.

And she is far from finished.

Scoring the first goal of the season for the Scarlet Knights in their 3-1 victory over Bucknell opening weekend, Imbriaco has not slowed down since, scoring in four of five games played so far. She currently leads the team with a career-high 12 points on the season and 10 shots on goal.

Her early milestones have not gone unnoticed.

“I’m so incredibly proud of Nicole Imbriaco. She’s a tremendous human being who’s just, you know, you kind of looked at her coming into preseason and you looked at her last spring and she’s just been focused from last spring until now,” said head coach Meredith Civico. “To see her really translating all her preparation and all her training into her game play is just incredible.”

Through 19 games last season, Imbriaco set a career-high of five goals, putting her at third on the team for the season. Contributing two of the team’s five goals against Villanova on Friday, the

senior forward has now tied her previous record in nearly a quarter as many games.

The Clark, New Jersey, native has also already doubled her previous shots-on-goal career-high, with 10 so far this season to contrast last year’s five. Of the five from last season, she finished in the cage on ever y one.

A fierce determination fuels Imbriaco’s training and

game play. The results speak for themselves.

“I think for me, my personal mindset is just working 100 percent when I’m out there, whether that be on the press trying to force the ball to the sides or trying to get ahead for my teammate,” Imbriaco said. “I think that’s just my main mentality — just working as hard as I possibly can, sprint till I can’t go anymore and kind of just put my body on the ground if I have to.”

Coming into Rutgers as a heavily decorated athlete from Arthur L. Johnson High School, Imbriaco walked on to the team that now relies on her as a crucial offensive player. One look at the growth seen through her last four years makes evident this season’s success as a culmination of a career that has steadily been on the rise.

It started with getting a few shots on goal her freshman year, which sprouted into two goals and six shots her sophomore season. A breakout junior year with 10 points total points and 12 starts was the preview for this season’s fireworks on the field.

Perhaps the most exciting and striking aspect of Imbriaco’s journey lies in that it is far from over.

Earning an esteemed position both on and off the field, she is just getting started exhibiting what she’s capable of contributing during her final season as a Knight.

“She’s so respected by her teammates and the coaching staff and she’s one of our most consistent players on the field. She’s worked very hard to be there,” Civico said. “Nicole came into Rutgers and worked her way up truly. To see her having and feeling the success in her senior year is just awesome.”

Junior finds new home, extended family at RU JOSEPH BRAUNER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Everyone has a story behind how they got to Rutgers — most of them just aren’t as interesting as the nomadic journey of Mikaela Matthews.

The junior middle blocker, now in her fourth year on the Rutgers volleyball team, has traveled to and from different counties, coasts and continents. She has experienced all types of places and people thanks to her father, Karlwin Matthews, and his medical career in the Navy.

Thanks to her unique upbringing, there were many places that became a part of Mikaela Matthews before she landed on the Banks in the fall of 2012.

Born in Sacramento, California, Matthews and her family immediately moved to Stanford after she was born so her father could study medical science. As is the case with most military families, the Matthews did not stay put for long after her father completed his studies.

“As soon as he finished med school, we moved to Japan for three years,” Matthews said.

Matthews was just four years-old when she moved to the other side of the world. Admittedly, it was difficult to assimilate and take in the culture.

Matthews, despite being in Japan for three years and living off-base with the civilian population, only managed to learn a few words of Japanese.

Although she was very young, Matthews has good memories of her time in Japan and made many close friends. In fact, leaving the island country was difficult for her when it was time to return to the United States.

“It was tough at first leaving my friends,” Matthews said. “I remember Japan was the first time I remember actually moving after making friends.”

Matthews noted that the huge distance between America and her international home was difficult for her. “(Moving away from Japan) was tough for me because those are people that you’re probably never gonna see again,” she said.

Matthews then returned to the United States after her stint in Japan, spending a year in Maryland and then moving out to Hawaii for four years before finally returning home to California.

This time, Mikaela’s stay was more permanent. She spent a total of six years in San Diego before coming to Rutgers to play collegiate volleyball. Of all the places she lived, Matthews does not hesitate in referring to San Diego as her hometown.

“That’s where I went to middle school and high school so that’s what I claim,” she said.

The 6-foot-1 sophomore at Mt. Carmel High School finally found her home not only in San Diego, but also on the volleyball court in her return to the Golden State.

“Up until then, I was kind of just trying out all the other sports. I played basketball all the way up until seventh grade,” Matthews said, acknowledging her fondness of the sport that her sister now plays for San Jose State University.

Junior middle blocker Mikaela Matthews has found consistency in her life on the Banks after an early life of constant change.

THE DAILY TARGUM / SEPTEMBER 2013

No matter where she was living growing up, Matthews’ life at home was always somewhat affected by her father’s career choice.

“There was very strict rules that we had to follow, so I think what he learned going into the military kind of defined how my sister and I were raised,” she said.

However, she made it clear that although the Navy was a part of her father then and will always be a part of who he is, Karlwin Matthews was not one to take his work home with him.

“At home, he’s very relaxed, very comical,” Matthews pointed out. “He’s not the typical military father that you would imagine …

I think he found the perfect balance raising my sister and I — to have us disciplined enough, but to never be overbearing with it.”

When asked if friends were intimidated by her father’s

large stature and masculine career choice, Matthews let out a laugh.

“Maybe boyfriends — right away they would be scared, because he’s a big guy and obviously he’s in the military. But I joke around with my parents all the time that really, it was my mom that they had to be scared of, not my dad.”

After spending six years at the closest thing she ever had to a permanent home, Matthews was not ready to stay put in San Diego. Instead, she was anxious to move out. Just as she had done her entire life, Matthews picked up and left the place that had become home to move hundreds of miles away.

“I really liked the campus of Rutgers. I really like the big campus feel,” she said. “When I came and met the girls, I loved the girls,

and I knew that this was where I was supposed to be.”

The feeling of her fellow players and coaches is mutual. It is clear that Matthews has found yet another place to call home in New Brunswick.

Senior defensive specialist Ali Schroeter expressed a notable fondness of her fellow teammate.

“I’ve been with her for three, going on four, years now, so we’ve gotten to know each other really well and we’ve gotten to become good friends,” she said. “ ... Off the court she’s fun, she’s good to be around.”

This weekend, the Scarlet Knights hope that their off-thecourt chemistry can transfer into their first home games of the 2015 season. Rutgers is set to host Howard University on Friday afternoon in the College Ave Gym to kickoff the Rutgers Invitational.

With the status of star sophomore outside hitter Meme Fletcher questionable due to an undisclosed injury, Rutgers prepares for this weekend’s slate of games determined to make up for the loss of an outside hitter.

At a time when the Knights need to pull through during a time of adversity, they will look to their strong cast of veteran players to lead the team.

Head coach CJ Werneke made it clear that he believes Matthews can be a part of the equation.

“She leads by example, you know,” he said. “She can be an emotional leader at times.”

Most importantly, Werneke expressed his confidence in the work ethic of Matthews, who now looks to help pick up a team that has struggled in the early going.

“She really works hard and has come a long way from her freshman year to where she is today,” Werneke said.

allas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Br yant is expected to miss four to six weeks after breaking the fifth metatarsal on his right foot, according to ESPN.com. Br yant sustained the injur y running a cross route in the fourth quarter of his team’s dramatic 27-26 win over division rivals New York Giants. In his sixth season in the league, Br yant signed a fiveyear, $70 million ($48 million guaranteed) contract in the offseason. The Galveston County, Texas, native has made at least 88 catches and 1,200 yards in each of the past three seasons, earning a Pro Bowl selection in the past two.

Fellow SEC teams Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi State fell out of the Top 25 following losses on Saturday, reducing the number of ranked teams from the conference to seven. Defending champion Ohio State remains No. 1 after its 38-0 thrashing of Hawaii, but the decision was no longer unanimous. No. 4 Michigan State received two first place votes after defeating No. 12 Oregon 31-28. Alabama, TCU and Baylor round out the top five.

ue to a strained hamstring suffered last Sunday, Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson is expected to miss three to four weeks according to coach Jay Gruden. Making the announcement following an MRI, Gruden said it’s possible Jackson could return earlier than expected although it remains uncertain. Jackson suffered the injur y when he ran a deep route on an overthrow by quarterback Kirk Cousins on the first play of the Redskins’ second series in the first quarter. Jackson, who led the NFL with 13 catches of 40 or more yards last season, missed the entire preseason with a Grade Two separated shoulder. Now sidelined again, the Washington turned to second-year receiver Ryan Grant to replace Jackson on the field.

incinatti Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones will likely face a fine but no suspension for slamming Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper’s head into his helmet last Sunday, sources told ESPN. The NFL is evaluating the incident in conjunction with its normal review process.

While game officials missed the controversial play, camera footage shows Jones on top of the Raiders’ top draft pick slapped his helmet hard enough to knock it off his head. After his helmet came off, Jones grabbed Cooper’s head and slammed it into the helmet while he was on his back underneath him. While Jones is not expecting a punishment from his on-field aggression, Cooper remained resolute, noting that such physical confrontations are to be expected in football.

September 15, 2015 MEN’S GOLF JONATHAN CHANG MADE HIS RETURN LAST WEEKEND AT RUTGERS INVITATIONAL

Senior Knight gets back into swing following injury EVAN BRUNO STAFF WRITER

In sports, bad breaks and misfortunes occur on the daily. Good teams are always able to work through the calamities and not let the off-field distractions dictate the way they compete.

A little more than nine months ago, disaster struck in Piscataway as the Rutgers men’s golf team lost one of its top players due to injury. Then-junior Jonathan Chang was unable to play in the foreseeable future.

Although the odds were stacked against the Scarlet Knights in its inaugural Big Ten season, the golfers did not permit the loss of Chang to destroy their year. The team put together a solid spring and earned successful finishes in tournaments.

The senior made his highly anticipated return to his home course last Friday at the Rutgers Invitational.

“Great to be back,” Chang said.

“It’s been nine ... 10 months since I’ve competed, so it feels great.

Expectations were good, so it was good. It was great, long day.”

Chang finished the tournament in a tie for 20th place with a total mark of 219. He shot a 70 in the first round and added a 76 and a 73 in the second and third rounds of the competition.

With Towson winning the event after posting an 838 team score, Rutgers put forth a complete showing and finished in second place with a six over par, 858.

“Well, it was great to have Jonathan (Chang) back,” said head coach Rob Shutte. “I mean, he’s a great personality, he’s a great leader. He didn’t play his best, so he’s disappointed. But even though he didn’t play his best, his attitude was awesome and that’s huge for us. You know, for him to have a great positive attitude, like right now you can see him, he’s smiling and laughing even when he didn’t compete as well as he would’ve wanted to.”

Although he’s back to playing golf again, Chang is still working to heal his body from ailment.

Senior Jonathan Chang returned to the Rutgers Golf Course last weekend, competing for the first time since a season-ending injury last year. LOGAN ZHENGCHEN / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / SEPTEMBER 2015 “Did I play well? I mean, there’s a lot of positives,” he said. “I just changed swing coaches right before I came back to school so I’m working on a lot of new things and still trying to get healthy with the back still and trying to work with bench here and trying to get my body to feel good, so that the swing kind of matches up with what I’m doing.”

A positive energy on the course from the returnee has a ripple effect on his teammates. This past weekend awoke a renewed appreciation for his presence.

Sophomore Toks Pedro echoed the sentiments of Shutte and was glad to have Chang back in the lineup.

“It was nice to have him back,” Pedro said. “We definitely need him. He’s a great player and he can definitely be a great edition to our squad. He has the ability to shoot really low scores at any point so that’s a great thing about him.”

Chang may not have played his best golf, but he wants to focus on the positives of his first outing back and get his game up to the high level it was normally at.

“A lot of positives,” Chang said. “I’m just glad to be back and competing again so getting the rust off early and hopefully the

next couple tournaments coming up get really solid.”

Despite a successful career as a Knight, Chang’s family does not get to see much of his performances.

The fourth-year golfer has been competing a long way from home during his collegiate career.

Chang’s hometown of Valencia, California, is 2,759 miles away from the Rutgers Golf Course.

Due to the long distance, it would take more than six hours to fly back to Valencia.

“I guess, you know, when the holidays come around, like Thanksgiving,” Chang said of the difficulties the distance poses. “I went back last year, but this year I think I’m going to stay (at Rutgers). ... I definitely miss my parents a lot, I miss my brother, so probably family is the main thing that I miss.”

Chang may not be able to visit his blood relatives often, but he has his Rutgers family on campus to support him.

“But I have a great group of friends here, (and a) great coach,” he said. “We’re all about Rutgers family, so that keeps me moving all the time.”

Most great golfers began to play the game at an extraordinarily young age, and Chang is no

different. His father took him to the course for the first time when Chang was just three years-old.

“First time I went golfing was with my dad, (I was) three yearsold,” Chang said. “He took me out to a golf course in Valencia — my hometown — and then kind of just fooled around with a couple hobbies here and there but I would say I really started taking the game seriously at probably seven or eight (years old), when I started playing competitive tournaments and then from there, (I) just didn’t stop.”

Chang had an exemplary golf career at Valencia High School, where he was named most valuable player as both a sophomore and a senior. He gained valuable experience playing at the high school level, which helped prepare him to become a Knight.

“It’s a little bit different because high school,” he said. “...

You don’t really have many tournaments like that besides the U.S. Open qualifying or U.S. Am qualifying where you have to play 36.

But most of the college tournaments are 36 ... so other than that, the competition is still the same but it kind of gets stepped up.”

Although it serves as a solid background, there are distinct

differences between golfing at the high school and collegiate levels.

Aside from the heightened level of competition, college play also boasts stronger incorporation of the team aspect to the game.

“One notch, you kind of see everyone get filtered out playing D1 golf (and) D2 golf,” Chang said. “... Everyone is playing individual and now to kind of be on a team on a college level is a different experience and going to hotels and eating food with the team and traveling, wearing suits on the plane, you know, those things we’re all learning.”

Chang chose to become a Knight with the hopes of venturing outside his comfort zone to prompt both personal and athletic growth.

And Rutgers proved to be the ideal place.

“Well, when I did my official visit here with Coach Shutte, it was just such a different culture,” Chang said. “It was something that I wanted to experience and pretty much kind of grow up as well. My parents said, ‘I think it’d be good if you were just kinda by yourself and, you know, did your own laundry, make your time schedule, all that stuff.’”

Aside from the school itself, coaches and players play an intrinsic role in an athlete’s decision to commit. In Chang’s case, Shutte made the decision easy to make.

He credits his coach as one of the main reasons in why he chose to become a Knight.

“Visiting New York was fun with Coach,” he said. “I really liked Coach Shutte a lot. I think he’s a great coach. ... My freshman year and now I’m a senior, every day, I’m still learning new things and that’s what I like. So, when I go back to California, when I come back here on the East Coast and play, I’m still gonna remember all of the tournament experiences that I had with (Coach Shutte). It definitely set me up for a great life experience.”

“As the head coach, everything ultimately reflects on you and it’s part of the job,” Flood said. “If you shy away from that, you probably shouldn’t do the job.”

While Flood said he did sit down with Carroo after the incident to address the disciplinary action, players said that they have not spoken to their teammate since Rutgers’ last game.
