New Brunswick sees explosion of businesses KATIE PARK CORRESPONDENT
The culture of new business in New Brunswick is like a game of “Whac-a-Mole” — one store closes, and another one opens up right after. Earlier this year, the city saw BonChon Chicken, Kaati Zone, Maoz Vegetarian and Fresh Grocer supermarket turn their lights off for the last time. But then new places proudly flung their doors open for the first time shortly afterwards. Spina Records, Shaka Burrito, La Bagel, Caffe Bene, DJ’s Dessert Shop LLC, Hub City Subs ‘n Grill and Diesel and Duke are only a handful of the businesses that opened this summer. New foods to try include Caffe Bene’s virgin lemon, strawberry and raspberry mojitos and rich pastries, Hub City’s wood-grilled flatbread margherita pizzas and Shaka Burrito’s burritos stuffed with thick cuts of steak. Kevin Rezvani, owner of Diesel and Duke, said the business is his first. He opened the small, bright orange clapboard eatery on June 16, replacing what used to be Tido ‘n His Junkyard Dogs. Rezvani, a Rutgers alumnus, came up with the name for the
all-American restaurant from the names of his co-owners’ pit bulls, Diesel and Duke. Located at 139 Easton Ave., Diesel and Duke’s menu includes creations like the “Crackler Dog,” a bacon-wrapped and beer-battered frank and the “Smokeshow Burger,” a beef patty topped with bacon, aged cheddar cheese, beer-battered onion rings and barbecue sauce. Rezvani’s personal favorite is the SPBB burger, a Sriracha hot sauce, peanut butter, bacon and cheddar cheese creation. He said it took him about 1½ months to test the 22-item menu, but his work appears to be paying off, saying business is “pretty good.” “There’s not that much good food in the area, so I figured I could do something better,” he said. Caffe Bene, located at 356 George St., opened only a day after Diesel and Duke and awaited its first customer, said Myung Lee, owner of Caffe Bene. “[The] basic concept of Caffe Bene is a book café,” Lee said. “We try to provide seats for studying and holding meetings.” Like Rezvani, Lee, a South Korean native, said the café is his first business. He was drawn to Caffe Bene SEE BUSINESSES ON PAGE 6

Targum talks to Marlon Wayans BRENDA STOLYAR STAFF WRITER
Actor-comedians Marlon and Shawn Wayans, best known for their work in the “Scary Movie” franchise as well as “White Chicks,” are bringing the laughter to New Brunswick. The Rutgers University Programming Association is hosting “A Knight of Comedy ft. the Wayans Brothers” tonight at the New Brunswick State Theatre. In an interview with The Daily Targum, Marlon Wayans gave some insight on his latest business ventures,
thoughts on comedy in today’s world and reflections on what it’s like to work with family. Daily Targum: What was your inspiration behind starting your website whatthefunny.com? What do you ultimately want to achieve with it? Marlon Wayans: I’m big into sketch and big into comedy. I wanted to help be a part of discovering the next generations of comedians and nurturing them in terms of how to make their material better. I think there’s a huge gap in the mar-
ket for urban-flavored comedy. Just that edgy, raw, in-your-face kind of humor that we like and we do. It’s a broad audience. When I say “urban,” I’m talking about the pop culture audience, so anybody young, hip, black, white, Spanish, Asian, gay, just everybody urban — anybody that don’t look like they belong on the dollar bill. Randy Adams, who is one of the co-founders of Funny or Die, approached me, and I thought we would be a good match. SEE WAYANS ON PAGE 5

Feminist critic discusses life of Latina porn star CARLEY ENS CORRESPONDENT
Vanessa Del Rio does not only consider herself the most legendary Latino adult film star of the 1970s. She also sees herself as the “biggest freakin’ feminist there is,” as quoted from her biopic. The star, who no longer stars in films but has her own X-rated website, is quoted as saying, “I like sex. I’ve always
liked sex, and I will never deny liking sex.” Del Rio’s unapologetic sexuality and refusal to be cast as a victim of the porn industry or of her own life lead feminist critic Juana María Rodríguez to explore how race and pornography intersect.

When former University President Richard L. McCormick fought to secure financial support for Rutgers from the New Jersey legislature, he would use a combination of “bragging and begging,” touting Rutgers’ accomplishments while warning that any budget cuts would put them at risk. “Again and again, I pointed with pride to the University’s achievements,” he said. “And then I asked for more money.” The tactic was often ineffective since legislators had neither the means nor a particular urgency to support higher public education, he said, especially when Rutgers’ achievements didn’t actually stop in the face of budget cuts. “I would have liked to have found those magic words that would have made higher education more compelling,” McCormick said. “Unfortunately, many of the public university presidents at my time were unable to express why the American people should invest in higher education.” Former Rutgers President McCormick launched his book “Raised At Rutgers” yesterday at the Barnes and Noble on the College Avenue campus. More than 50 students, alumni and faculty
members came to listen, filling in all the seats with many people standing in the back. “Raised At Rutgers” is a reflection of his University presidency from 2002 to 2012 and covered not only his decade as the head of the administration, but also a lifetime of involvement. Born in New Brunswick to two parents who were both long-time Rutgers employees, McCormick spent a great deal of time on campus
from a young age and developed a deep affection for the University. Before his presidency, Rutgers looked extremely different, said Richard Edwards, executive vice president of Academic Affairs and chancellor of the New Brunswick campus. Edwards cited an extensive list of McCormick’s contributions to the University’s academic structure and the students’ quality of SEE MEMOIR ON PAGE 5

“Targum” is an Aramaic term for “interpretation.” The name for the University’s daily paper came to be after one of its founding members heard the term during a lecture by then-Rutgers President William H. Campbell. On Jan. 29, 1869, more than 140 years ago, the Targum — then a monthly publication, began to chronicle Rutgers history and has become a fixture in University tradition. The Targum began publishing daily in 1956 and gained independence from the University in 1980. RECOGNITION For years, the Targum has been among the most prestigious newspapers in the country. Last year, these awards included placing first in the Associated Collegiate Press National College Newspaper Convention Best of Show award category for four-year daily newspapers.

Princeton professor talks wealth vs. health care disparity NIKHILESH DE STAFF WRITER
Health care in first-world and developing nations have been growing apart for centuries, said Angus Deaton, a professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University. It is time for society to close that gap. Deaton discussed health care inequality yesterday at the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research on Paterson Street in New Brunswick. Deaton is among the world’s foremost development economists, said Carol Boyer, associate director of the institute. His current research includes health and economic development. The disparity between the rich and the poor and their overall levels of health has persisted for centuries, Deaton said. Changing this situation requires a different way of analyzing the issues than policy makers currently use and expect. Researchers traditionally use life expectancy to determine health levels, he said. But apart from interruptions caused by diseases such as AIDS, the disparity is closing, while other standards remain the same.
“I would argue that life expectancy isn’t the right measure,” he said. “There’s a lot more inequality in the world than you get just by looking at life expectancy.” “The Great Divergence,” an event that occurred in the West in the 16th century, is a source for health inequality in the world. Life expectancy and the standard of living both increased dramatically in the West while remaining the same in the East. This global inequality never closed, he said, resulting in the Western world having a significantly more organized and developed healthcare systems. Gross domestic product per capita and life expectancy are strongly correlated. Even within a single first-world country, the amount of wealth a group has determines its members’ health, Deaton said. The largest disparities come from the higher tax brackets. Income and wealth inequalities lead to further inequalities, he said. Political inequalities are common, though they should not be. In the past, this disparity was not as negative. While initially,
cures and treatments were expensive, allowing only the rich to take advantage of them, they would eventually spread throughout the population. Smallpox was a fatal disease in medieval Britain, Deaton said. The wife of an ambassador brought the vaccination back to the British Isles. While at first only those among the upper

classes received the vaccination, it later spread throughout the empire. It dramatically reduced the mortality rate, especially among children. The British Empire integrated a number of cures and treatments from across the globe. They brought remedies from
across the globe to fight their diseases, helping to lead to “The Great Divergence.” This is different from what happens today, Deaton said. In modern times, cures and vaccinations spread outwards from a single starting point, due to the way diseases are researched. This does not change that many children still die in thirdworld countries through accidental geography of birth. These children often die of curable diseases near modern hospitals. The issue is the result of how poor countries receive aid, Deaton said. Any individual or group needs a lot of information before they can affect positive changes, said Stephen Crystal, the director of the Center for Health Services Research on Pharmacotherapy, Chronic Disease Management and Outcomes. The problems are not simple, and solving them requires bringing ideas from multiple disciplines into one strategy, said Cr ystal, a distinguished research professor. People need to figure out smarter solutions than those that exist currently.
Creating strategies to fix the disparity must be done carefully. People must think about unintended consequences before they act on any plans. Financial aid is exacerbating the problem of wealth and health disparity in third-world countries, Deaton said. Often the funds exceed government expenditure, resulting in the donations paying for all the government’s costs. According to globalissues.org, governments typically give financial aid for specific purposes with donors deciding what that aid will be spent on. This disenfranchises the host government from taking care of its own people. That problem is more about the government’s capacity than its funding, Deaton said. Specifically, the government does not have the capacity to adequately deal with its issues. The governments in question are unable to take the necessary steps to revamp their healthcare systems. The people who need the money must decide what it can be spent on, he said, rather than the affluent. “Citizens must be responsible for their own healthcare system,” he said.

DT: You also have the show “Funniest Wins.” Was that a joint venture from the website, or did they start separately? MW: They started separately, but then I joined them together because they rhymed. The show is about young, hip urban comedy, so the winner of “Funniest Wins” gets their own show on whatthefunny.com, so it’s basically cross-branding. DT: You’re big with social media and interacting with fans. With our generation, it’s very easy to become famous through social media nowadays, so I wanted to just get your opinion on people becoming “conveniently” famous. What do you think about how things have changed between stand-up comedians starting out in the past as opposed to now? MW: I think at the end of the day, ever ybody’s rushing to get famous, and I think that people should rush to get good. It’s not about being famous — with fame you want to make sure you have the skill set to laugh. I always tell new comedians, “Don’t worr y about being famous, worr y about being good, worr y about being funny. Fame will come, it’s just a product of hard work.” Sometimes do I think that some of these people are getting fame a little early? Yeah, but it’s going to force you to grow. You know, just because you do a couple of funny Vines doesn’t mean you can star in a major motion picture and that 50 million dollars’ worth of people are going to come see you. So, at the end of the day, it’s all good because it’s all creative, and it’s all going to make you better. But I’m all for you getting the fame as long as you’re doing the work, then I’m all good with it.
DT: “A Haunted House 2” just came out on DVD, and it was all made independently. Since you wrote and starred in the film, what was that process like as opposed to the work that you’ve done in the past? MW: It was a more hands-on type [of] experience because your budgets are so low. Everything is condensed. When you’re filming, you ain’t wasting tape, you’re just going. The editing process is a lot shorter, so it teaches you to work at a fast pace and it teaches you how to make quick decisions. DT: Even though the first “Haunted House” movie was a huge hit, did you have any

doubts that the sequel wouldn’t make as big of an impact? MW: No, only because I think that we found a story that was completely different than the first one and a whole new set of jokes, and for us that was the fun of writing the sequel. It was more like writing another different movie. DT: What made you put a satirical spin on horror movies as opposed to action or dramatic films? MW: I don’t know — I thought about a way to do a low-budget comedy. I watched “Paranormal Activity” and thought, “Ok, what if this happened to a black couple?” And, you know, it kind of rhymed.
DT: Working independently, was there anything during production or post-production of both films that you struggled with or second-guessed yourself on? MW: No, no, we kind of knew what we wanted, and you know, our audience responded to the things we thought they were going to respond to, and some things they thought were a little too crazy, so we pulled back on that. But for the most part you know, we trust our instincts. DT: I also want to talk about your stand-up [today] at the New Brunswick State Theatre. I just want to get an idea of what it’s like to work with your family. MW: I love working with my brothers, because we challenge each other to be better, you know, make it a competition. And you also get to spend time with the people that you love, get to go on the road together — you kind [of] kill two birds with one stone. You’re working and you’re hanging out. So, to me, that’s the best of both worlds. DT: How would you say that you and your brother have grown as comedians, and how far have you come in comparison to this comedy tour as opposed to when you guys first started out? MW: I think you just get better at telling jokes, and you know what the joke is quicker. You can shape the point of view, but your point of view is your point of view. No matter what you apply it to, you know you can be funny. DT: Speaking of starting out, in college, ever yone is still tr ying to shape their identity and figure out who they want to be. What advice would you give to aspiring stand-up comedians, especially in our fast-paced generation? MW: It’s pretty simple. Work hard, don’t just work at being a stand-up comedian but work on being a writer. Film your lines. Make sure you do sketches. Most of all, you get on the stage and stay on the stage every night and never give up. You’ve got to keep trying.
life on campus. He particularly emphasized the transformation of the Livingston and College Avenue campuses. “Now, when students get their housing and it’s not on Livingston, we get all sorts of complaints,” he said to a laughing audience. “That wasn’t the case before he came here.” Besides the aesthetic reconstruction of the campuses, McCormick was also responsible for initiating Rutgers’ entrance to the Big Ten Conference, the acquisition of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, the Aresty Research Center, the first-year Byrne Seminars and the School of Arts and Sciences Honors College. “He led a process that transformed undergraduate education,” Edwards said. McCormick refocused resources and attention on undergraduate students, realizing from his time as a faculty member, dean and provost that undergraduates often “fall through the cracks” at a large research institution. Rutgers was divided into separate colleges at the time with separate admission policies and graduation requirements. But none of them had their own faculty, and students on one campus were often barred from participating in the activities of other campuses and “It was kind of the ‘RU Screw’ writlarge,” McCormick said. He knew it was a system in need of reform.
Marlie Wasserman, the director of the Rutgers University Press, said the publisher made a rare decision to take on McCormick’s book due to his unique writing style and perspective as the president of a large state institution. RUP rarely publishes memoirs, Wasserman said. Having frequently received and rejected manuscripts for memoirs in the past, she was uncertain about the process at first. “I started reading with great hesitation,” she said. “Remember, he was one of my bosses.” McCormick’s openness inspired attendees of the reading such as Andy Sisti, a graduate of the class of 1976 and current director of Athletic Development at Rutgers. McCormick’s book reading reflected the content that many readers and reviewers have lauded, where he highlighted his own flaws as a president along with the ones he found in the institutions he encountered. In dealing with these frustrating and repetitive conversations with budget legislators, McCormick admitted his personal shortcomings of being too uptight, detailed and serious when politics often called for being gregarious. McCormick’s hope is that future leaders would be able to find the compelling words in support of higher education that current administrators have failed to articulate. He said it would be a “tragedy” if this effort ultimately fails and prevents institutions like Rutgers from continuing to ser ve the community.

STAR Rodríguez’s book tells the story of Del Rio’s life working in the sex industry CONTINUED FROM FRONT
Berkeley, led this year’s first seminar of the Distinguished Lecture Series, “The Edge of Encounter: Sexual Narratives and the Limits of Representation,” by the Rutgers Institute for Research on Women. Supported by the School of Arts and Sciences and the Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs, the series is themed gender and visual studies this year. Nicole Fleetwood, director of IRW, said she and Rodríguez were former colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley. Fleetwood, associate professor in the Department of American Studies at Rutgers, said she was excited to host Rodríguez and called her a “brilliant, fun and fabulous” feminist theorist. Rodríguez recently published her second book, “Sexual Futures, Queer Gestures and Other Latina Longings.” “In [my] book, I wanted to think about how it is that despite the extravagant ways that feminine racialized subjects experience violence, injustice, and indignity, some of us come to know pleasure, including sexual pleasure,” Rodríguez said. Rather than focusing on ways that women might counter or resist these forms of subjugation, Rodríguez said she wanted to explore what it might mean to dwell sexually and political-
ly in a space of vulnerability and submission. Rodríguez looks at how images of Latino submission become a part of people’s sexual fantasies, and how they get activated in the racially gendered scripts that come alive in our sexual and social practices. What Rodríguez really wanted to talk about was her encounter with a book and a life — the life of Del Rio. The book is entitled “Vanessa Del Rio: Fifty Years of Slightly Slutty Behavior,” and Rodríguez said it is so heavy that they probably would not have let her bring it on the plane. The book, which tells the story of Del Rio’s life after leaving Harlem to work as a racialized woman in the sex industry, posed a special challenge to Rodríguez, who was led to consider the moments in which critics like herself are faced with their own limits of interpretation. “My purpose is not to rescript these stories through lens of a Latino feminist analysis, “ she said, “but instead to wrestle with what she has to say.” Rodríguez found that reading and interpreting representations of violence and pleasure in films and performances might involve the same kinds of critical discourse as those that might be used to analyze a life story like that of Del Rio. While a few black, Asian and Latino men passed through the adult entertainment industry, none devel-
oped the recognition that Del Rio did, Rodríguez said. “Del Rio is huge. Legendary, even, not because she has starred in [over 100] films, but because in the world of adult entertainment during the golden age of pornography, Vanessa Del Rio was a star,” Rodríguez said. In spite of such recognition, Rodríguez said the pervasive nature of the film industry prevented her from making top dollar. Del Rio’s first film was a “one-day wonder,” a full-length feature film shot in a single day. Those 18 hours of fellatio, intercourse and double penetration earned Del Rio a measly $150, and her shorter films earned her about $40 each. Rodríguez also pointed out how throughout Del Rio’s entire career in the adult film industry, she never received a starring role. Rather, she always played the role of the maid, the hooker or the “Latino spitfire.” “Her racialized difference represented the forbidden fruit that fed the endless appetites fueled by jungle fever,” Rodríguez said. Del Rio personified the aggressive racialized woman who sees someone or something and goes for it, Rodríguez said. In fact, Del Rio said that in her first porn film, she was more nervous about saying her lines than having sex on camera. Del Rio continually insists that she has never had any bad sexual experiences and was never victimized, Rodríguez said. “[Del Rio] is fully aware of the many forms of violation and victimization that impact women, but she distinguishes that from feeling like a victim,” Rodríguez said.

Rutgers student runs coast to coast for cancer BRENDA STOLYAR STAFF WRITER
Although the run started out on a positive note, Pyo sprained her ankle while running down a mountain, forcing her to wear a boot only five days into the tour. Still wanting to contribute and support her team, she and another injured member decided to do “Push-ups Across America” instead. Ever y time the van stopped, she would do push-ups, she said. One time she did 350 pushups and 300 dips because she found not being able to run really frustrating when she was dedicating her day to someone. In terms of hazardous weather conditions, the only challenge the team faced was having to run through the Mojave Desert during a heat wave, but they all made sure to be smart about staying hydrated. Pyo was glad they did not receive any rain, since it would impair runners’ visibility and force them to drive instead. She said the most memorable part of the run for her was visiting cancer centers and hospitals on rest days and giving out chemotherapy care packages — as well as scholarships — to cancer survivors.
Most college students conquer their fitness goals by running an extra mile on the treadmill or pushing through another lap on the track. This past summer, one Rutgers student went beyond a typical workout routine when she made the decision to run across the countr y. Christine Pyo, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, participated in “The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults’ 4K for Cancer,” a 42-day 4,000-mile run from San Francisco to Baltimore. Before embarking on her journey, Pyo raised $4,500, which was donated to the cause. “The money goes to direct patient support for young adults with cancer,” Pyo said. “I really like the fact that this puts it straight back into the community.” Her main inspiration to participate in the 4K was her uncle who had passed away from cancer, as well as her best friend’s dad. She was unsure how her family would react to her running such a great distance, but surprisingly, they Whenevresponded er Pyo found in a way that was “You shouldn’t worry, because herself struggling to get extremely everything is going to through her calm and go wrong, and you’re still miles for the supportive. day, she would P y o going to make it.” keep in mind was an those who all-around CHRISTINE PYO were affected athlete for School of Arts and Science senior by cancer. most of On one her life, particular but once day, she dedshe entered her first year of college, icated her run to Jamie, a young she used running as her main girl who passed away after beform of exercise.

WEEK IN REVIEW: Laurels and Darts CONSENT IS SO FRAT The White House called on Rutgers last spring to be a leader in a nationwide effort to combat sexual assault on college campuses. Our student body is taking the initiative to join the cause, too. The Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity has brought the “Consent is So Frat” campaign to Rutgers, which was recently founded by a member of the fraternity at Wesleyan University and has been spreading to other chapters across the country. We laurel the effort to educate and raise awareness of the issue across campus.
SUCKY SPORTSMANSHIP We’re proud of the Scarlet Knights for a great Big Ten debut last weekend against Penn State. It was a highly anticipated game, and despite the loss, we all had a good time supporting our team. But of course, there were a few fans that completely crossed the line and participated in some really vulgar and distasteful attacks on Penn State in reference to the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal. We dart those students who disappointed all of us by misrepresenting our University and taking away from the spirit of the game.

SORRY CHARLIE Julie Hermann’s back on our list again. Yes, we’re disappointed that some Rutgers students chose to display an awful lack of sportsmanship and common decency at the Penn State game, but we don’t think that’s even a little bit representative of the majority of our student body. And by issuing a public apology, she’s making it seem like we want to associate with those students — and that we have any control over their behavior at the next game. This dart goes to Hermann for taking the opportunity for yet another pointless addition to her ever-lengthening list of apologies.

PROGRESSIVE POLICIES
This semester, the University is implementing a new preferred name policy to accommodate transgender students who don’t feel comfortable using their legal names in class or on Sakai. Douglass Residential College, the women’s college at Rutgers University, also admitted its first transgender activist this year. We laurel the University for taking these steps toward creating a more inclusive environment for members of the transgender community.
MOMENTOUS MARCH “The People’s Climate March” taking place in New York City on Sunday, Sept. 21 is set to be the largest march of its kind, and Rutgers is ready to be a par t of it. The University has marketed the march to students and encouraged them to sign up to par ticipate, and it looks like quite a few students are going to join the cause. We laurel our student body for continuing to make us proud and standing up for impor tant causes that af fect all of us, on campus and around the world.
BURDENSOME BUILDINGS
It looks like construction is going to be a never-ending eyesore on our campus, and it’s as inconvenient as it is ugly. We’ve always complained about parking issues, but now even some of our professors have said they’ve lost parking permits due to the construction. This dart goes to the overwhelming amount of construction going on, at the same time, during the busiest time of year and at the expense of basic parking availability for both students and faculty members.

Addressing racism is collective effort Don’t fall for COMMENTARY BRANDON DIAZ-ABREU
T
he Targum recently published a thought provoking commentar y about battling individual racism against African Americans, written by Yvanna Saint-For t, a self-identified black woman. As a Latino American myself, and having grown up in a community over flowing with other Latino and African Americans, I sympathize with her. In her commentar y, Saint-Fort described how on her train ride back from New York City, she saw a cement backyard bordered by a chain link fence where about two dozen black men were idly walking around. Of course she didn’t have the full context of what those men were doing there or what that place was, but that didn’t stop her mind from making a snap judgment, and so she thought to herself “is that a jail?” This kind of instinctual reaction to assume the worst about a group of idle black men in an unfriendly environment is a reaction to be expected from many Americans, considering what we have learned through the portrayal of African Americans in major media outlets. Think about the fact that this countr y holds the highest number of incarcerated individuals in the world, and the majority of them are African Americans. Think about how two of the past three off-campus crime alert emails from the Rutgers police concerned at least one attacker that was a black male. Think about how you’ve seen African Americans portrayed in your local news or on national news programs. Now consider this in light of the fact that we have basic animalistic instincts
that produce the kinds of reactions we have when we feel threatened or in danger. When you walk down a dark empty street all alone at night and you see a hooded figure slowly approaching you, it’s your instincts that have conditioned you to think that this person is probably trouble. But it’s the media that has conditioned you to think this person is probably black. It was this learned behavior that prompted Saint-Fort to immediately think “jail” when she saw that scene as her train
“We’ve been conditioned to see African Americans as the problem, and that is the real issue. But how do we recondition ourselves?” passed by, and it was probably this same learned behavior that prompted a police officer to shoot unarmed Michael Brown in Missouri a few weeks ago. We should all feel a twinge of shame that over the past few decades we’ve allowed this subtle racism to take root in our countr y, and that this incarceration culture now permeates economically disadvantaged areas. In my home community of New Brunswick, few of the people I knew growing up ever seemed surprised or disturbed to hear that someone else had a family member who was “locked up.” Americans have come to expect this from blacks and minorities in general, and we are becoming desensitized to their plight. We’ve been conditioned to see African Americans as the problem, and that is the real issue. But how do we recondi-
tion ourselves? Even though we weren’t asked to go through this conditioning, we are now responsible for unlearning ever ything it has drilled into our heads. There is no other option. We have to deal with this and other race issues within us before we can truly confront them in our communities and in the world. But there is no proven method or systematic routine to unlearn racism. There isn’t exactly a therapy for this like drug rehabilitation or road rage classes. And there is no use in tr ying to deny or suppress inner racism like you would a craving for a sweet treat. Modern research on behavior has shown that it is difficult for people to unlearn routine behaviors and unfortunately, racism on the individual scale is routine for many people when it comes to specific situations like the ones discussed so far. Again, if we turn to research, there is evidence that first-learned behaviors can never truly be erased from our brains and instead we have to replace those behaviors with different ones. But what do you replace racism with? What do you replace the fear instinct with? What should be the first thought in your mind when you see what the previous author saw? There are no clear answers at this time and so this is one of our challenges going into the 21st centur y. Individual racism should be one of the main issues we discuss, and those future discussions should be focused on two things: what alternative behaviors could be instilled in each individual in place of socially learned racism and how to prevent our mass media and national culture from conditioning future generations to think and behave in this way.

Grease trucks continue to thrive at U. COMMENTARY AYMAN ELNAGGAR
I
’m writing in response to Dan Munoz’s Sept. 4 column titled “Nostalgia keeps grease trucks alive.” As the long-time owner of the premier grease truck RU Hungr y? and the person responsible for making Rutgers University grease trucks a nationally recognized icon, I would like to weigh in with my opinion. Suggesting that our business continues to operate simply due to “nostalgia” or better yet, an “appeal to tradition” is to suggest we exist simply due to what we were and what we offered 30 years ago. As Munoz states, in our “heyday” we served a purpose — that same purpose exists today. While we were located on the College Avenue campus at the Scott Hall bus stop, RU Hungry? was open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. We served a full breakfast menu as well as lunch and early dinner. Since the grease trucks’ location was suspended in lieu of the coming University Plaza, the remaining grease trucks have been repositioned in various locations throughout the campuses. After being on Douglass campus, RU Hungry? is now located at 159 College Avenue, just down the street from where we were for so many years. We’re now also open until 2 a.m. Of course, we sold and continue to sell our famous Fat Sandwiches. It’s the item that put the grease trucks on the map and will continue to be sold as long as we remain in business. Now, that’s not to say this is the only item on our menu. In fact, if you read our
current menu, you will be pleasantly surprised to see that we have incorporated many items that are health conscious as well as extremely diversified. Our menu is quite dynamic. We continue to offer fat sandwiches in the same way that McDonald’s will always offer their iconic “Big Mac.” If you were to view McDonald’s menu from 30 years ago and compare it to their menu today, you would see that even though they continue to offer the items that made them famous (you know, the ones with all the fat, calories and choles-
“Suggesting that our business continues to operate simply due to ‘nostalgia’ ... is to suggest that we exist simply due to what we were and what we offered 30 years ago.” terol that made us love them in the first place), they now have significantly more to offer. The trend worldwide is to be a leaner, more health-conscious society. RU Hungry? is aware of this and continues to look for ways to develop our menu items to be as nutritionally beneficial as possible while still being tasty and delicious. We even offer Fat Salads for our customers who wanted to have the experience of a Fat Sandwich’s same great taste yet with significantly less calories. These items have been gaining momentum, but the real draw will continue to be our Fat Sandwiches. The Super Bowl at the Meadow-
lands even requested our Fat Sandwiches for their pre-game party. Maybe back in the day you would stumble over to the grease trucks for a midnight offering of 1,200 calories of greasy goodness. Maybe you’d even consider it a weekly mainstay in your diet back then. Today, for most of us who view college days in our rear view mirror, a Fat Sandwich is an occasional indulgence. A single bite pulls us back in time to when life was wondering how we’d do on our midterms and where we’d be spending the weekend. The current student population views us as an RU tradition, a rite of passage. For a lot of us, it’s a step back in time. Then, there are those who’ve seen us many times on the Travel Channel and Food Network and just want to get a taste of what all the rage is about. We’ve had many people tell us they’ve traveled for hours to give us a try simply because our name is out there and our reputation precedes us. We are thrilled to say our business is doing well, and we’re continuing to provide a terrific product at an affordable price on the College Avenue campus and at home games at High Points Solutions Stadium. We’ve built our business on the Rutgers campus. If you take a look, there are many imitators. Many new businesses have opened nationwide copying our Fat Sandwiches. It’s a big world and a free country, and at least the last time I checked, you can feast wherever you like. RU Hungry? will continue to be open and happy to serve you! Ayman Elaggar is the owner and president of the “RU Hungry?” grease truck.
media hype FIT WIT COURTNEY HAN
A
s Americans, we have the freedom of choice. We choose what clothes we want to wear, what foods we eat, where we go to school and what music we listen to. We choose our jobs (most of the time), our friends and our cars. We are the countr y with absolute freedom of oppor tunity, of variety, and of individual expression, and each citizen is the complete master of his or her self. Well, if this were all true than this would be a ver y shor t ar ticle. We would like to believe that we have the freedom to choose without limits, but the reality is bleak and definitely not as poetic. We have the freedom to choose from the options that are left over after corporations eliminate or obscure what they believe is in their best interest from which to shield us. Consider an ice cream shop that offers 20 different brands of ice cream. You’re looking for the brand of vanilla ice cream that you usually get, but unfortunately it is sold out. No worries — you can pick up another brand of vanilla ice cream. After all, vanilla ice cream is vanilla ice cream, right? Little did you know that the supermarket was actually stockpiling your brand of vanilla ice cream in the back of the store, but since the brand was not as popular as all of the other ice cream brands, it was held back from the shelves.
“The best thing that we can do is be aware of our manipulative media culture.” Media is the same as that vanilla ice cream. We know what we know because of how it is presented to us. These days, I can’t read the homepage of a news website without seeing something about ISIS or athletes charged with domestic abuse. Countless times, we have seen the images of the three freelance journalists in bright orange prior to their beheading, or the replay of Rice dragging his then-fiancé from the elevator of a hotel. But would anyone skimming the news yesterday have known that about 500 people were killed on a human trafficking ship off the coast of Europe? How many viewers would have been aware that Africa will be going into hundreds of millions of dollars of debt to save the Ebola victims? These are issues with serious implications that do not receive half as much attention as Arizona running back Jonathan Dwyer or even Jennifer Lawrence’s leaked nude pictures. I am not saying that ISIS and domestic violence are not serious issues. I am saying that the structure of media in our society is inhibiting us from becoming wholly and truly informed. This is not a “fight the machine” mentality. The reality is that no one can bring down the media corporations that control what we see and what we learn. In an ideal world, we would be exposed to diverse affairs happening internationally, not just the events that increase ratings and viewership. The best thing that we can do is be aware of our manipulative media culture. We can dig deeper into the news, because there is more to the world than Syria and Iraq, and we can be more critical of the commonplace “Ray Rice” stories of the news by choosing to avoid the hype.

ADVANTAGE
strengthening the connection with my setters,” Frazier said. “Other than that, the coaches have me working on my angles when I’m hitting and moving to get in the right positions in front of the net to block the ball, so the defense behind me doesn’t have as hard of a job.” There is a list of areas that need to be corrected if the Knights plan to come away with a winning record in the tournament, Werneke said. “Being consistent in serving, passing and defense will go a long way this weekend,” Werneke said. “If we perform up to our capabilities in those three areas, we will be in every set and every game.” One of the main components of the Knights’ play that needs improvement is the attack. Rutgers ranks last in the Big Ten in hitting percentage with .171 and 12th in average kills per set with 12.78. The
most glaring of the Knights’ weaknesses, their aggressiveness with the ball, is something Werneke is focusing on in this weekend’s tournament. “Our attacking efficiency and hitting percentage have not been very high so far, and it is very difficult to win when you don’t hit well,” Werneke said. “We need to work on sliding out on the offensive side of the ball. I think we have been faced with a lot of favorable situations for our attackers, and they haven’t converted, so now we’re putting in some work to correct that.” The Knights’ level of success this weekend hinges on how much they have corrected these weaknesses. Of the four teams Rutgers will play this week, James Madison provides the perfect matchup for the Knights’ attack. The Duke Dogs (5-5) feature one of the nation’s top middle blockers in Lizzie Briones, who ranks 10th with 1.59 blocks per set. How the Knights’ front line performs against Briones will be key against James Madison. With four games in two days, the Knights’ conditioning and energy will be put to the test this weekend. But as the players and coaching staff have said, there will be more than enough motivation to perform, now that they are finally playing at home. “I think there’s going to be a big impact playing at home,” Werneke said. “Anytime you play at the College Avenue Gym, home-court advantage is a must. Volleyball is a game of momentum and emotion, and it’s always nice to create that at home.”
Head coach CJ Werneke said there is going to be a big impact when Rutgers plays at home for the first time this season.

contributions out of unexpected members of the team. But for all the accomplishments, Werneke has said from the outset of the season that the coaching staff and players will continue to strive for improvement every week. Junior middle blocker Eden Frazier has been focusing on all facets of her game. Given her position on the court, the coaching staff has set a specific plan in order for her to impact the game on a number of levels. “The big thing for me is to keep
Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds has 44 carries for 214 yards this season CONTINUED FROM BACK Midshipmen are the “gold standard” of option offenses. “You’re talking about the best at what they do in the world,” Flood said. “The Navy offense, Coach Niumatalolo and his offensive staff — they’re the best at running this offense in the world, so we’re tr ying to simulate that in practice with players who don’t do this on a day-in and day-out basis.” Preparation in practice star ted early in the week with sophomore safety Brian Verbitski emulating Navy quar terback Keenan Reynolds while on the Knights’ scout team. “First thing you better do is stop those guys in the middle because the quarterback and the running back carr y the ball more than anybody else,” Flood said. “The quarterback who was injured last week, Reynolds, is back again now — 44 carries with 214 yards, the fullback has 30 carries for 222 yards. Then, they bring the back-up fullback in that is 245 pounds and he carried it 24 times for 173.” Disciplined, assignment-oriented and physical football all came up as ways to cope with Navy, various Knights said. Sophomore linebacker Steve Longa said there is temptation to
abandon coverage assignments to stop the run. “We have to read our keys,” Longa said. “If our assignment is to have a certain receiver man-to-man at all times, you know they are probably going to run the ball 90 percent of the time so you have that urge to go in there and stop it, but you can’t do that. When you start to do that, they notice, and guess what? They are going to make you pay for it. So we have to be disciplined.” Along with being disciplined, junior defensive tackle Darius Hamilton said it ultimately comes down to slowing down what Navy does. If the Knights can do that, there is no doubt in Hamilton’s mind the Knights will be successful. “You have to stop their running attack and set the tone. When you watch a lot of their tape, they set the tone,” Hamilton said. “They dictate the movement and things like that. We’ve got to be the tone-setters this game.” Does Hamilton think they can set the tone? He answered simply and without hesitation. “There’s no question,” Hamilton said. “No question.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @TylerKaralewich and @TargumSpor ts on Twitter.

September 19, 2014 FIELD HOCKEY NO. 9 IOWA-RUTGERS, SUNDAY, NOON
Knights hope to contain No. 9 Hawkeyes’ uptempo attack RYAN MORAN STAFF WRITER
The weekend the Rutgers field hockey team has been looking for ward to make its mark in the Big Ten conference is finally here. The Scarlet Knights are set to host No. 9 Iowa on Sunday in both teams’ first conference game this season. Boasting a 4-2 record, the Hawkeyes have played against some of the countr y’s best competition. They pulled off upsets against No. 1 North Carolina and No. 8 Stanford but fell to No. 10 Virginia and No. 12 Wake Forest. The Knights look to get back on track after a difficult loss to Virginia last Sunday. This is their second straight game against a top-10 team and one that plays with a style identical to Virginia. Head coach Meredith Long and the Knights know what to expect from an attack-heavy Iowa team. “Iowa has quick, dynamic forwards who are really producing on the attacking end for them,” Long said. “They’re traditionally a physical, fast, counter-attacking team.” One of those dynamic forwards for the Hawkeyes is Natalie Cafone, who has accumulated nine goals and two assists for 20 points this season. When Iowa needs a goal, they look to Cafone to provide it. “She is fast, aggressive and can finish. She’s dangerous when she gets the ball,” Long said. “We want to deny her the ball and put pressure on her the entire game. Our backfield has players who can match her. If we can shut her down and play in our structure and have ever y player on our team touching the ball, we will we have success.” Iowa also has an impressive player on defense in goalie Alexandra Pecora. Allowing fewer than two goals per game this season (1.95), Pecora presents a challenge for Rutgers’ offense.
If Rutgers is to pull off a home upset Sunday, it will have to slow down No. 9 Iowa’s high-octane offense. Sophomore midfielder Alyssa Bull said the Knights need to match the Hawkeyes’ energy level on the field. TIAN LI / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR “Corners are going to be a big part of it,” Long said. “We have to make her work. A big focus for us is getting early shots on goal and on target to create a lot of pressure for their defense and the goalkeeper. We want more early shots from the top of the circle.” Sophomore midfielder Alyssa Bull feels rebounds will be a big help for the Knights to generate goals. “We have to be really gritty and get ever y rebound possible by taking as many shots as we can and having our for wards down by the goalie prepared for the rebounds,” Bull said. Evidently, Iowa’s talent doesn’t intimidate Bull.

GAMES Knights look to bounce back during first Big Ten home games this weekend CONTINUED FROM BACK The loss dropped the Knights out of the top 25 after entering last Friday’s game ranked No. 25 in the nation. The task this weekend will be a tall one for Rutgers, with the pair of schools from Michigan making their way to Piscataway. Michigan State hobbles in after a pair of tough breaks in over time losses against Wisconsin and Minnesota dropped it to 0-2 to star t conference play. But the Spar tans are 3-0 on the road and had reeled of f six straight wins before the two over time defeats. Freshman phenom Jamie Cheslik leads the way for Michigan State’s offense with 11 points and five goals, partnered with ju-
nior Allyson Krause, who has eight points and a .400 shot percentage. The Knights will be tested against one of the Big Ten’s most talented teams in Michigan, which is coming in hot after reeling off four wins in a row, including a 2-1 win at home over No. 9 Wisconsin. But aside from the hot streak, the Wolverines have yet to prove they can win outside of Ann Arbor, with a 0-3 winless mark on the road. Records and win streaks aside, junior defender Maggie Morash reiterated that Rutgers is focusing on how it can improve and bounce back after last week’s loss at Mar yland. “The goal going into the weekend is never [thinking about starting] 0-3 [in the Big Ten]. … We’re going to win this weekend. Obviously, losing to Mar yland puts us on the back foot a little bit, but we’re ver y confident in our team and our players that we can get this done,” Morash said. “So, we’ll take it one game at a time and
other and adjust really well,” she said. “We have to read the play and know when to go [attack] and when to pass. We have to know what skill to use at what time.” The Knights know this game is their big chance to get their first win in Big Ten play this season, get recognition and be able to compete in the Big Ten Tournament, but they don’t want to get ahead of themselves. “It’s one game at a time,” Long said. “Iowa is first up. We have to take care of business on Sunday.” For updates on the Rutgers field hockey team, follow @TargumSports for updates.
make sure that ever y time we step on the field, we’re putting our best foot for ward and making sure we perform to the best of our abilities.” While the Knights do come off their first loss, their confidence has not taken a hit. O’Neill stressed his desire to see the team come right back with the confidence and energy necessar y to have a “B1G” weekend. “I think the biggest thing … we’re gonna talk about is a little bit of what we discussed — it’s having respect but no fear,” O’Neill said, “and we need to have a little bit more of that because ever y game is going to be the same way. In areas we thought we were ver y confident, maybe sometimes we doubted ourselves when we didn’t need to do that. … We think that’s going to be important for our success over the weekend.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

RU aims to put end to losing streak at Yurcak SEAN STEWART CORRESPONDENT
Following Tuesday night’s 3-0 defeat to Monmouth, head coach Dan Donigan stressed that his players did not respond to adversity. When the Rutgers men’s soccer team hosts No. 14 Indiana tomorrow at Yurcak Field, the Scarlet Knights (3-3, 1-0) will need a response if they are to have any chance against one of the most storied soccer programs in college soccer. “They’re going to be good. I mean, look at their program history — it speaks for itself,” said senior midfielder Nathan Bruccoleri. “And they’re always competing for a national title and Big Ten ring every year, so we’re excited for that.” The Hoosiers’ (3-1-2, 0-1) history does speak for itself: eight national championships, 27 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances and the reigning Big Ten Tournament champions, to name a few of their credentials. But this current Indiana squad is not without its flaws, most notably in the offensive end. The Hoosiers lost six starters and had to replace nearly 70 percent of their goal-scoring production last year for a team that finished only 8-12-2 a year ago. San Jose Earthquakes forward Tommy Thompson was among those to depart, deciding to join Major League Soccer and become the Earthquakes’ first-ever homegrown signing after his freshman season. Tommy Thompson’s brother, Tanner Thompson, and forward Femi Hollinger-Janzen, give Indiana some talented options upfront, but its offense has only managed four goals in six games. The Hoosiers were also 1-7 last season on the road and have yet to play an official road game. Rutgers has plenty of flaws of its own, though, having lost its last three home games by a 1-7 goal margin. But there seems to be a sense of tranquility from the Knights’ players, who feel Tuesday’s showing against in-state rival Monmouth was not indicative of their overall ability. “To be honest I thought we played well [against Monmouth],” said junior defender Mitchell Tain-
tor. “We played good soccer and possessed the ball, but we had a little mishap in the first half which led to the goal. That was unfortunate because I thought we deserved better than that.” These “mishaps” in the back have been one of the few consistent trends for Rutgers this year, having conceded a goal or more in its last five games and trailed in the last four. Although Indiana has struggled to score, having not scored more than once in a game this season, the Hoosiers’ backline only conceded twice, ranking them ninth in the nation in goals against average. Facing a team that is used to grinding out 1-0 victories, the Knights’ defense will need to be more organized. That’s proven hard to do without junior defensive captain Drew Morgan, who has struggled throughout the season with a recurring head injury. While sophomore Kieran Kemmerer’s efforts to replace Morgan have been commendable, Taintor feels the chemistry he and Morgan have is difficult to replicate. “Drew and I, we’ve been playing together since we were 17 as freshmen coming in,” Taintor said. “Kieran is a great player, but we don’t have the same relationship Drew and I have, and Drew brings different qualities to the team that I think we missed [on Tuesday].” The last time Rutgers conceded three goals at home, it earned its biggest win on the road against a Big Ten opponent in Wisconsin. It’s hard to predict how well the Knights will play tomorrow, but if hosting their first-ever Big Ten game against a program like Indiana isn’t motivation enough, attempting to redeem Tuesday’s loss certainly adds to it. All Donigan can do is hope his team gets the memo. “We’re still 3-3, we’re still 1-0 in the Big Ten and now… we have every opportunity to kind of come back out here and have another response and do something positive,” Donigan said. “So you know, I can just explain to them the scenario we’re facing and hope that there’s going to be the proper response that I want.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s soccer team, follow @SeanStewartRU and @TargumSports on Twitter.
The Rutgers cross country teams return to action Saturday as the men and women will both be competing in the Monmouth Invitational held in Holmdel, New Jersey. It will mark the first race for the program since the Fordham Fiasco on Sept. 6, in which the women were victorious and the men placed fifth overall. The course in Holmdel is very familiar to both the men’s and women’s teams, as many New Jersey natives have raced there throughout their high school and college careers. The women’s team has won the Monmouth Invitational the last two seasons, and the Knights say it is an enjoyable race because of their history with the course. “It’s a really cool race to go to because it’s something I’ve known since my sophomore year of high school,” said junior Paige Senatore.
“I like running there because it’s familiar territory.” Senatore also mentioned how hard the team has been practicing since the Fordham race, something she feels will help the team on Saturday and in the future. “We’ve been very hard working. …We actually have seen a freshman step up [Alexandra Juzwiak] and it’s really motivating to see that because when a freshman comes in they’re a little taken aback and intimated, but it’s really cool seeing them try to come up with us,” she said. The women have been very successful at Holmdel the last two years, but assistant coach Jan Merrill-Morin knows the race will still be a great challenge and test for the team. “There are always a couple of individual runners to look out for in this race, and of course Monmouth [University] because it is their home course, so they are very competitive,” Merrill-Morin said.

The men hope for a better showing than in Fordham and are looking to improve upon their thirdplace finish at the Monmouth Invitational a year ago. Junior Dan Lee knows that it will take a true team effort to compete at Holmdel and expects a mix of veterans and newcomers to put together a good race. “At Holmdel, I think the thing we’re really geared on doing is to really see how well we can run with each other, rather than trying to run as fast as possible,” Lee said. “I think it’s going to be another meet where we’re really working on just the team being the best it can be.” The men’s team has six freshmen in total, so Rutgers is looking to incorporate its new runners while also trying to remain competitive at a high level. Despite the influx of freshmen, Lee said the team will continue to have high goals and the vision of doing well on Saturday and moving forward. “I think that our goals are not diminished [by having a young team], but, if anything, they are heightened,” he said. “Clearly, the bar just keeps going higher and higher.” Lee also mentioned Monmouth University as being a team to watch out for on Saturday, and believes he and his teammates are ready for the challenge. “I think it’s really going to test us and push us to see how well we can do,” he said. “I’m excited. I’m super excited to see what we produce on Saturday.” For updates on the Rutgers cross country teams, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

Knights face top rush offense TYLER KARALEWICH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
When the Rutgers football team travels to Annapolis, Mar yland, there will be glaring differences between Navy, which it faces tomorrow, and Penn State, the team the Scarlet Knights (2-1) lost to last weekend. While the Nittany Lions struggle when running the ball, the Midshipmen (2-1) thrive when they keep the ball on the ground.
Navy averages 403 rushing yards per game, leading the nation by over 40 yards more than the second-closest team. The amount of yards they generate of fensively is largely the result of the sheer volume of runs they take. The Midshipmen have only attempted 19 passes all season. Part of the reason Navy has been so efficient, rushing for 6.6 yards per carr y, is due to its offensive scheme: the triple option.
The triple option is when the quarterback makes all the decisions and reads while running the ball. The quarterback can hand the ball off to the fullback behind him, fake the hand off while running the ball himself or pitch the ball after the previous two sequences. It all depends on what he reads in the defense. According to head coach Kyle Flood, the
The 2014 season has been and will continue to be a year of firsts for the Rutgers women’s soccer team. In their first Big Ten season, the Scarlet Knights played their first conference game at Maryland. Despite the 2-0 loss — the first of the season — the Knights will have an opportunity to accomplish a few firsts. With Michigan State (6-3, 0-2) visiting tonight at 7 p.m. and Michigan (6-3, 2-0) Sunday at 1 p.m., Rutgers cannot only achieve winning the first Big Ten game in program history — it can complete the first sweep. To do that, though, junior midfielder Samantha Valliant said head coach Mike O’Neill was blunt about what needs to be done. “We did well against Mar yland in the first 20 minutes,” Valliant said. “We kept the ball, we did a lot of good combinations and stuff like that, but [head coach O’Neill]’s been emphasizing how obviously teams are going to come back and get shots. … We kind of got a little frazzled when that happened, so it’s more like just keeping composure and going for ward playing our game instead of tr ying to have the pressure mess us up.” Time of possession plagued the Knights during the slow first half. The Terrapins controlled the tempo of the game in the opening half of play, scoring two goals and leaving Rutgers to play catch up in the second half. SEE GAMES ON PAGE 14
