Rutgers student’s death may be alcohol-related KATIE PARK CORRESPONDENT
Caitlyn Kovacs, a 19-year-old School of Environmental and Biological Sciences sophomore, was pronounced dead at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at 3:19 a.m. Sunday morning after attending an event at a fraternity house. The alleged cause of Kovacs’ death appears to be alcohol-related, but the official cause of death will not be released until an autopsy is completed by the Middlesex County Medical Examiner’s Office. Kovacs, a South Brunswick High School graduate, was at a “small gathering” at the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity house located at 78 College Ave. She was then transported to the hospital by friends around 3 a.m. when Kovacs, a Monmouth Junction resident, “appeared to be in distress,” according to a statement from Andrew Carey, prosecutor at the New Brunswick Prosecutor’s Office. The police were called to investigate Kovacs’ death at 3:28 a.m. after hospital staff alerted them of the death. The investigation is being spearheaded by Lt. Paul Fischer of the Rutgers University Police Department, Ken Abode, detective at the New Brunswick Police Department and Jeffrey Temple, detective at the Middle-
sex County Prosecutor’s Office. Police officers stood on the porch of the DKE house mid-morning yesterday, with fraternity brothers sitting clustered toward the side of the property. Doug Lanpher, executive director of Delta Kappa Epsilon, International, said he expressed “deepest condolences” to the family and friends of Caitlyn Kovacs. “We also wish to extend our sympathies to the students of Rutgers University as they endure this time of grief and misfortune,” he said. “As the investigation of the incident is ongoing, Delta Kappa Epsilon is fully cooperating with local and county authorities.” Law enforcement personnel and a brother of DKE fraternity declined to comment on the incident. “This is a time to let each other know that we care and to share our strength and understanding with those in need so that we come through this tragedy with a deeper commitment to each member of the Rutgers community,” said President Robert L. Barchi via email. Anyone with information can call Lt. Fischer of the Rutgers University Police Department at (848) 932-8025, Detective Abode of the New Brunswick Police Department at (732) 745-5217, or Detective Temple of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office at (732) 745-3300.

Hermann faces criticism for Sandusky comment
Organizations create ‘pop-up’ park to utilize parking space Wielding potted plants, a bench made of skateboards and yoga mats, two student organizations at Rutgers created a “pop-up” park with the assistance of the city of New Brunswick. As part of a larger global movement known as “PARKing Day,” the New Brunswick Parking Authority agreed to give up five parking spaces outside of 49-55 Bayard St. to allow Walk Bloustein Bike Bloustein and the Rutgers Landscape Architecture Club to transform the space into a park for the day. Ellen Gallagher, president of the Landscape Architecture Club, was very enthusiastic about the potential new uses of green space. She said the event was an initiative to bring awareness to what kind of things can be done in a parking space. “Maybe not just a car, maybe I can put a green space in here, and

Athletic Director Julie Hermann is once again the subject of controversy after her comment about former Penn State football coach Jerr y Sandusky leaked to the media. She made the remarks at a staf f meeting last fall, according to an nj.com ar ticle. The news comes a week after Hermann apologized to Penn State for Rutgers fans’ “regrettable” behavior at the Rutgers-Penn State football game. According to the ar ticle, Hermann said the Rutgers program had to “reach out an d touch donors,” and then added they should not do it “in a Sandusky way.” The staf f members at the meeting were apparently shocked, according to the ar ticle. “Ever yone looked at each other and said, ‘Say what?’” a Rutgers of ficial at the meeting told nj.com. Another of ficial told nj.com several staf f members wondered if Hermann was kidding. “Comparing relationships with donors or with people in organizations that we want to drum up and get money from in that
relationship and saying we have to get close to them and touch them? And she goes ‘not like Sandusky,’” the of ficial said in the ar ticle. In an email statement to The Daily Targum, Peter McDonough, senior vice president for external af fairs, said the statement was an of f-the-cuf f remark in response to a conversation about fundraising. “There probably isn’t a person alive today who hasn’t made an impromptu remark in a private meeting that probably shouldn’t have been said,” he said in the email. He also said via email the comments were not directed at Penn State students, staf f or faculty. The remark was not relevant to Hermann’s great per formance, he said. “Bringing change always ruf fles some feathers, but the results are clear,” he said in the statement. “Ticket sales are setting new records for home and away games, the R-Care program is ser ving our student athletes’ academic, social and personal well-being, and our fundraising up.” Read Targum’s editorial regarding Hermann’s comments on page 8.

“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.

do activities. … I can play chess, I can play checkers, I can sit and have lunch,” said Gallagher, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences senior. She hopes the temporary park will become a permanent mindset in future streets in New Brunswick. Walk Bloustein Bike Bloustein, or WB3, the bicycle and pedestrian advocacy group comprised of graduate students at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, handled more of the promotional aspect of the event in coordination with the City of New Brunswick. Matthew Knight, co-president of WB3, shared Gallagher’s optimism about the event’s turnout, as well as the creative element of “reimagining the exclusionar y practice of parking” by making more green spaces within urban environments. “As a planning student and an urban designer, I think it’s just a really good way to star t to have … a more serious conversation about green infrastr ucture and small parks,” said Knight, a second-year graduate student at Bloustein. Middlesex County Planner Nicholas Tufaro, as the New Jersey trustee for the American Society of Landscape
Architect, got the organization to fund the project. Although Middlesex County Planning did not officially support the event, Tufaro’s position allowed him to be extremely active in assisting with New Brunswick PARKing Day. “This [PARKing Day] is something that urban areas can actually implement on a long-term fulltime basis,” Tufaro said. “I’m very interested in creating an urban tapestry that has green threads and think those green threads not only help community life, but also community health and storm-water management.” Small structures that could significantly improve environmental conditions in cities like New Brunswick include porous paving stones, which, unlike storm-water drains, would go directly to the ground underneath and replenish the ground water table. Tufaro cited the success of similar technology with rain gardens Highland Park recently installed on Raritan Avenue. Together with Frisbees, organizers used these stones to create a display of a giant game of checkers at the Bayard Street event. New Jersey nurseries and the Rutgers Floriculture Department supplemented the display with a donation of plants, while the city of New Brunswick loaned chairs and tables.
Rutgers students at Friday’s “PARKing Day” engaged in recreational activities such as yoga as they converted a parking space into a park for a day. DAN COREY Bayard Street businesses utilized PARKing Day as an opportunity to get more exposure and foster new relationships with members of the New Brunswick community. “Bharati” Carla Haynes, owner of the Garden of Healing Yoga & Wellness Center on Bayard Street, combined her business’s “Community Day” with the event in order to help promote green infrastructure,
as well as the activities that can be done within it. “The whole idea here is to use some street space for more recreational activities that enrich people’s lives, whether they live here or work here, and we [The Garden of Healing] suppor t that as well,” Haynes said. Despite the activities, the street was still open to cars to pass by. The participants conversed and discussed the implication of the event.
During the event, bankers mixed with casually dressed residents. Knight played backgammon with a young girl among the commotion of yoga lessons. “I would love to see more of this — I love the concept of flexible space where we can come together and share a space like this is all about what cities should be,” Haynes said. “It’s communal, beneficial to everyone’s lifestyle, and beneficial to local businesses.”

herself a feminist, I think it’s a shame that people want to knock down women in leadership positions,” she said. For the Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences senior, being a feminist is about being an empowered female leader, being the best version of herself and finding confidence and a platform to speak her mind. Kaler-Jones, who competed in the Miss America pageant on Sept.14, found those things and more. When she was not crowned Miss America on the Atlantic City stage, she realized she was not what the judges were looking for. “At the same time, I think you learn a lot about resiliency and dealing and coping with defeat,” Kaler-Jones said. “Wheth-
er or not Miss America is me, I still get to do the greatest job in the world, ser ve the greatest state in the nation and I still get to be Cierra Kaler-Jones.” Kaler-Jones, who will hold the title of Miss New Jersey until June, competed against 52 other young women, all vying for the judges to fall in love with them and crown them Miss America. Through the pageant, she received $17,500 in scholarship money. Though her pageant days are over, Kaler-Jones will continue aiming to ensure that more scholarships are made available through the pageant. Another goal of hers is to recruit more minority contestants by dispelling the myth that pageants are for the rich. Although multiple outfits must be purchased, Kaler-Jones
PROTESTS Barchi says median salary for full-time professors is in the 91st percentile CONTINUED FROM FRONT
The University senate made the changes in light of last year’s controversial choice of Condoleezza Rice as commencement speaker, a decision led by the Rutgers Board of Governors. “The Senate Executive Committee decided that the most significant issue with this par ticular commencement speaker and honorar y degree recipients was the process by which this candidate was selected, “ she said. She said the new method would be through a senate committee of faculty, staf f, students and alumni. They are currently forming that committee, which they hope to establish in time for 2017 commencement. In the interim, the senate will pick the speaker out of a list that the University secretar y will compile. Barchi then gave his repor t, which began with his personal stor y. He came to Rutgers uncer tain of his ability to make a dif ference, but realized the University had “pent-up” energy for change. He highlighted several accomplishments of students and faculty, such as a seven-point increase in SAT scores among incoming first-year students. Although many have criticized the bloated size of administration, Barchi said Rutgers was in the bottom 10 percent in terms of the ratio between administrators and students. “We have to have really good people in those jobs, because if they miss a ball, there will be no one to back them up,” he said. He used this to discuss the appointment of several administrators, such as Brian Strom of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences.
According to The Star-Ledger, Strom received a base salar y of $675,000 and could earn $4 million in compensation in his first five years. The Strategic Plan, both a document outlining Rutgers’ goals and the methods used to find those goals, played a large par t of Barchi’s speech. He said the University has formed two major committees to discuss changes, one to review the school system and organization and another to recommend shor t-term technology changes and analyze technology’s influence on Rutgers. Despite the committee’s anal-

ysis, Barchi is not satisfied with the computer suppor t system in place at the administrator level. He hopes to procure better systems for research ser vices as well as financial analysis. “It’s hopeless to get that information with the antiquated systems we have,” he said. “We’re working on it with bubblegum, but what we really need to do is change it.” Another one of his priorities for change is minority recruitment for faculty and staf f. Rutgers has one of the best diversity programs in the countr y, but they do not receive enough recognition for it, he said. In the Q&A period, David Hughes, a professor in the Depar tment of Anthropology, said Barchi’s claim that faculty
requested and received the money she needed from those who suppor ted her dream. She was calm, ready and excited in the weeks leading up to the pageant. The first week of the two-week pageant preparation was spent rehearsing for the show, attending dinners and events and signing autographs. Kaler-Jones, whose parents both work in the struggling Atlantic City casino industr y, said the best par t of the pageant was giving hope and inspiration to those who are unemployed. The critical par t of the competition is the 10-minute private inter view that each contestant does with the judges. “The inter view is pivotal because Miss America is basically chosen in the 10-minute inter view,” she said. “They’ll fall in love with you in that inter view room.” Kaler-Jones took 10 precious minutes and made herself vulnerable, opening about her life’s struggles and facing adversity. “When I thought that I had nothing left to give, I gave it.”
Kaler-Jones did express relief in never having to step on stage in a swimsuit and heels again, sharing that people will always scrutinize and have negative things to say. “You have to be so in tune with yourself that nothing will sway you,” she said. According to thepageantplanet.com, Kaler-Jones is number six on the list of the “Top 10 Swimsuit Bodies at Miss America,” receiving the title “strong is the new sexy.” That itself is power ful, she said. Another misconception surrounding pageants is the idea of stick-thin girls who star ve themselves in order to achieve their pageant bodies. Kaler-Jones noted the amount of food the girls eat backstage and said the top 10 swimsuit body title is a nice slap in the face to the kids who called her fat in middle school. “It’s crazy to me because all throughout growing up I was made fun of because I was the big girl,” she said. “And body image is something that I always struggled with very, very much.”
One thing people did scrutinize was her curly hair, telling her it was unprofessional. KalerJones said people would tell her not to wear her “curly afro.” “You’re going out there and being phony if you aren’t representing yourself,” she said. Suffice to say, she wore her curly hair and was approached by a young girl while volunteering at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission, who told her that they had similar hair. As Miss New Jersey, Kaler-Jones strives to remain relatable. Kaler-Jones was happy to act as a representative of Rutgers and bring some positive attention back to the University, which suppor ted her throughout this whole process. She of fered the advice to the next round of Miss America to stay true to themselves and remain grounded. “I wanted to go on stage at Miss America leaving a perfect picture of who I was, and who I am going to be,” she said. “You always have to be gracious, always have to be humble and remember where you came from.”
are the “hear t and soul” of the University was not reflected in their salaries. He said the median salar y for full professors is in the 91st percentile, while salaries for associate professors are in the 94th percentile. Salaries for assistant professors were in the midrange, 50th to 60th percentile. In response to a question about retaining faculty and raising salaries, Barchi said he was tr ying to be responsive. But he could not guarantee anything. “Ever y time you ask me to do something, I have to not do something else,” he said. During the protest, Hughes said the funding for professors’ salaries should come from the University’s spending on athletics. Hughes also challenged Rutgers’ spending on athletics, which he said also endangers students’ brain health. “I believe that we’re not so cynical to exploit these young men’s bodies for profit,” he said. “Why are we doing this? Why are we putting their bodies, their cognitive abilities, at risk?” He pointed to football head coach Kyle Flood’s recent contract extension as an example of overspending. Meanwhile, Rutgers cut the librar y budget for new books and databases. Lucye Millerand, president of the Union of Rutgers Administrators, said many union members are taking home less than they did in 2008 when they factor in health care and pension costs. They have had a salar y freeze for the past two years. Rutgers has more than 15,000 staf f members, including dining hall workers, librar y staf f and the staf f of academic depar tments, according to Rutgers of ficial website. The $1 billion Rutgers holds in reser ve is the result of pay cuts to staf f members, she said. “That money was stolen from our pockets,” she said. Stephen Moorman, associate professor at Rober t Wood Johnson Medical School, is frustrated that Rutgers continues to refer to him and other faculty as “legacy [University of Medicine and Dentistr y of New Jersey]”
staf f members rather than full Rutgers professors. The faculty at RBHS is negotiating separately for their contract with Rutgers. They are fighting over the compensation system, which Rutgers says should be based on productivity. But Rutgers defines productivity in terms of numbers – the number of published works, the
number of classes they teach or the amount they bring in for the clinic, he said. The definition does not include the work they do outside of the of fice to prepare, or the value they bring teaching students in the clinic. “The administration wants to computerize ever ything,” he said.

Rutgers participates in nation’s largest climate march NIKHILESH DE STAFF WRITER
A wall of scarlet red corralled itself into New York Penn Station yesterday and then marched into New York City, chanting, “We are the people. This is our planet.” More than 150 University students joined more than 310,000 other people from more than 1,000 organizations, universities and other institutions in New York City for the largest climate march in America’s histor y. Among those who attended the march were Dean Judith Storch of the School of Environmental of Environmental and Biological Sciences, David Hughes, professor in the Department of Anthropology and Ban-Ki Moon, Secretar y General of the United Nations. The “People’s Climate March” hopes to encourage world leaders at the United Nations to take more definitive action on climate change and its related problems than they have done at present, said Atid Kimelman, field organizer for the Energy Action Coalition, one of the groups coordinating the event. “One of the major inspirations [for this march] was the UN Cli-
mate Summit 2014 that Secretar y General Ban Ki-Moon called for,” he said in an email. The UN Summit on Climate Change will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 23, two days after the march, he said. The Rutgers Fossil Fuel Divestment Campaign and the Students for Environmental Awareness organized the University collective, said Shane Patel, president of the RFFDC. The march hopes to reach international political heads, he said, including those who would not be attending the summit Tuesday. The collective also hopes to reach the Rutgers community, he said. In addition to University professors and students, the RFFDC hopes to reach the Governor’s Board of Trustees and encourage the board to divest from fossil fuels. While divesting would not hurt the companies that produce fossil fuels, it will show them how seriously the University is taking the issue, he said. “We’d like to see the Board of Governors divest, but that’s a vehicle for raising awareness,” he said. “It’s a vehicle for voicing people with legitimate concerns.” Another group the RFFDC
plans to reach are those who believe climate change is an insurmountable problem, he said. “I hope they see there’s a lot of people that really care,” he said. “And I hope the decision makers at Rutgers understand this is truly something the community cares about.” Alexander Toke, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences junior, said he wants to demonstrate to the world that climate change is an issue that cannot be ignored any longer. Using money is one of the main ways decisions get made in government, he said. But using one’s voice is more important to democracy, and the march enables people to tr y to get their voices heard. It is important Rutgers plays a role in affecting climate change, Toke said. “Rutgers is one of the most prestigious research universities in the country,” he said. “We are an enlightened community of scholars, and we should represent that by being at the march.” More awareness needs to be brought to climate change, said Beverly Chiu, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. The issue is more pressing than most realize.
Nearly 150 Rutgers students rallied in the “People’s Climate March” yesterday in New York City. COURTESY OF ZHENNI LIN Chiu, a geology major, said people living in New Jersey should be especially concerned with climate change and its ef fects, such as the rise of sea levels. “I’ve been tr ying to project what sea levels will be at soon,” she said. “It’s going to be higher.” Storms like Sandy are another effect of climate change, she
said. Hurricanes of that magnitude in New Jersey should be something people care about. Saad Shamshair, School of Arts and Sciences senior, said people should be informed of the severity of climate change because it is causing some disparities in the weather. “Ruthlessly enabling climate change is truly a moral issue,” Patel said.

Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology website. “We use computers to help understand the properties of proteins and nucleic acids, which are large molecules that are important in living cells,” Case said. “Our primary impact is in helping people doing ‘real’ biochemical experiments, particularly those using X-ray crystallography or nuclear magnetic resonance to interpret their results.” John Brennan, chair of the Rutgers Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, said Case’s work makes it easier to understand how and why biomolecules like proteins, enzymes, DNA and RNA do what they do. “While there are numerous applications, the most obvious would be that with this information, it becomes easier to rationally design new drugs or improve the efficien-
cy and safety of older drugs,” Brennan said. Case conducts his research at the Rutgers Center for Integrative Proteomics Research, located on Busch Campus. The center im-
“We use computers to help understand the properties of proteins and nucleic acids.” DAVID CASE Distinguished Professor in Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology
plements NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and hardware for high performance computing, according to the RDCB website.
Computing, an integral part of Case’s research as a theoretical and computational chemist, has become an essential component for research experts in science and medicine. Rahul Patel, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said the current methods of conducting biological studies are in need of technological advancements. “If we can speed up certain research processes, we could have knowledge and treatment options spread faster,” he said. “A lot of what we do right now is a modification of what our predecessors did before us. A major advance in the biological setting would be a game changer.” Case, whose exceptional publication record has one of the highest citation records of any chemist nationally according to the RDCB
website, reinforces the notion that familiarity with computers is important in the fields of science and medicine. “Everyone in science or medicine needs to be familiar with computers, and basic computer programming should be a part of that training,” Case said. “Even basic statistical analysis of data can be done better by someone who can control what you want the computer to do.” A member of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the editorial board of Biopolymers since 1990, Case remains intrigued by the impact of chemistry on other fields of science and technology. “I will personally stick to biochemistry, but applications of chemistry to materials and to nanotechnology are areas I’d take a close look at if I were young again,” he said.

David Cameron faces criticism for tricking anti-union Scots
Scotland will get more autonomy with no “ifs or buts,” Prime Minister David Cameron‘s office said yesterday, after Scottish leader Alex Salmond accused him and other politicians of tricking Scots out of independence. Salmond made his allegations after Cameron, within hours of Scotland voting ‘No’ to independence in a referendum last week, unexpectedly said new powers for Scotland promised by London before the vote should go in tandem with new powers for England. His sudden change of tack sparked a rancorous dispute with the opposition Labour party, which said it had a different vision of how constitutional reform for England should unfold. This raised the possibility a new deal for Scotland could be delayed or even thwarted by a party political row. Angered by the turn of events, Salmond, who is stepping down as leader of the pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP) after losing the independence referendum, accused Cameron yesterday of winning the vote by making false pledges. “It is the people who were persuaded to vote ‘No’ who were misled, who were gulled, who were tricked effectively,” Salmond told BBC TV, saying he thought last-minute promises of greater powers and continued higher-than-average funding, which he said were already unraveling, had swayed the vote’s outcome. Cameron’s office responded by saying the government would stick to its promises. “This Government has delivered on devolution and we will do so again in the next Parliament,” it said in a statement, referring to the next government’s 2015-2020 term in office. A source in Cameron’s office said that despite earlier remarks by him and one of his most senior lieutenants, Cameron would not delay new powers for Scotland if crossparty agreement over wider reform for England could not be reached.
“The prime minister and other leaders have made a clear and unambiguous commitment to deliver on devolution — and produce draft legislation by January. They will deliver on that commitment — no ifs, no buts,” the source said. The dispute between Labour and the Conservatives overshadowed the start of Labour’s annual conference in Manchester, meant to focus on the party’s vision of a society where wealth and opportunity is shared more equally. Instead, Labour leader Ed Miliband was forced to clarify his views on English devolution as part of what many voters are likely to perceive as a needless party political spat. Cameron, under pressure from some of his own lawmakers representing English constituencies, has said he wants to stop Scots lawmakers voting on English issues in parliament, a matter he says should be the preserve of those representing England. Conservatives fear losing votes to the nationalist UK Independence Party if Scotland, which has its own parliament and a large measure of devolution, gets more autonomy and keeps more funding per head than the rest of Britain, without concessions to England, the United Kingdom‘s largest part. Labour, however, has fewer lawmakers in England than the Conservatives and could stand to lose its ability to get legislation through parliament if it was in government under Cameron’s English proposals. Miliband said yesterday he disagreed with the proposals because he thought more time and consultation was needed to work out a solution to “the English question” accusing his rival of playing politics. “You know we’ve spent two years trying to keep our country together. Let’s have a proper constitutional convention, let’s look at these issues,” Miliband told BBC TV. “Let’s not drive our country apart because David Cameron thinks it’s a sort of opportunity for him to do it.” — Reuters

Student activism prompts militarization of campus police A WOMAN’S PLACE IS IN POLITICS
MARGARITA ROSARIO
S
ocial justice has historically soared at the hands of University students. From suppor ting divestment from South Africa in the 1980s to recent protests against the war crimes endorsed by Condoleezza Rice, Rutgers students have historically held the limelight in some of the greatest social justice struggles. This year is not any dif ferent. Rutgers students have much to protest and a huge capacity to do so. More than ever, students are conscious about the issues that are af fecting them and those around them. We are conscious of the struggles near and far, from the most recent massacre in Gaza to the perpetual rise of tuition in American universities. Campus police, too, are well aware of this fast-approaching agony. They are well aware of the fast-approaching angst amidst the devastating status in which humanity finds itself. This might explain why, all around the country, campus police have been stacking up on military weapons and war ammunition. A New York Times article published yesterday
noted that at least 124 colleges have acquired military weapons, and that Rutgers is likely one of them. This conjecture, to be sure, is in light of recent Facebook pictures depicting what seems to be the training of the New Brunswick Police Department or the Rutgers University Police Department in the use of military weapons. Such pictures circled zealously through Facebook this past summer, stirring up speculation about the purpose of these weapons.
Afghanistan. Universities have attempted to justify the recent acquisition of war weapons by claiming that their purpose is to increase campus safety, but what exactly does that mean? On-campus shootings, which have been the prime example of what these weapons would generally be used for, do not seem to fit in the description of the law allowing schools to acquire the weapons. Rather, the law states these weapons are for the “use
“Universities have attempted to justify the recent acquisition of war weapons by claiming that their purpose is to increase campus safety, but what exactly does that mean?” The present situation is reminiscent of the 1970 Kent State University shootings, the incident that caused the death of four students at the hands of the Ohio National Guard. Indeed, there has been a historical correlation between social justice on campus and use of police force to suppress action. And yet, most of the actions taken by students have emphasized nonviolence and respect for police forces. The transference of military weapons onto local police departments is part of a federal program known as the Department of Defense 1033 program, which seeks to dispose of weapons left over from the wars in Iraq and
in counter-narcotics and counter-terrorism operations.” As a New York Times article so discerningly stated, “terrorist attacks and shootouts with drug cartels are virtually unheard of” on college campuses. So, what’s the deal? Local police have been swarmed with these materials over the past few months, and it does not seem like these war weapons are bound for storage. As the recent Ferguson protests show, police are not hesitant to use these weapons on civilians. The use of tear gas and stun grenades on Ferguson civilians has spurred skepticism about the fairness of
these weapons. What kind of action would cause campus police to break out on students? More emphatically, are students such a threat as to warrant war weapons? It is important for activists to keep in mind that, for all intents and purposes, social justice is effectively criminalized in the United States. Organizing for social change is no longer a matter of inducing positive social change, but also guarding ourselves against the very state that is supposed to protect us. Last spring, when 50 students sat in Old Queens in protest of Rice’s proposed commencement speech, University officials did not allow food in or out of the building. Water ran out quickly, and some students suffered greatly. I myself was bedridden due to excessive dehydration following the sit-in. When asked why the officials were barring students from having water or food, Felicia McGinty, the vice chancellor of Student Affairs, responded, “Because we want you to leave.” It seems now more than ever that student activism is treated with heightened and undue scrutiny. Indeed, the acquisition of war weapons by University police forces point to a much greater strategy against student activists.

NFL commissioner should be held accountable COMMENTARY SABRI RAFI
I
n the multi-billion dollar enterprise that is the NFL, morals are defined not by right and wrong, but by the dollar signs that cement its legacy. The supremacy that it holds might be to akin to that of the Titanic in that it is considered “too big to fail.” The late afternoons of guzzling down beverages of choice, dunking nachos and adjusting your fantasy football roster while watching your favorite players duke it out gladiator style has evolved past being a culture into more of a necessity. Even if the love of your life has abandoned you, or even if the prospects of getting a job in the economy have dwindled into oblivion, you can always find solace in the fact that your favorite team’s banners will shine brightly that upcoming Sunday morning. It is an all-encompassing spor t that has captured the hear t of America and the man that stands before the glorious empire might in fact be the most power ful man in all of spor ts. However, with looming allegations of the NFL’s incompetence in domestic abuse, the question remains: Can the wealthiest and most influential billionaire-owners
spearheaded by a for-profit commissioner evade the public manifestations that call for their heads? The answer to that question might just revolutionize our perception of sports forever. In the recent Ray Rice domestic violence incident, there have been outcries that the original handed down suspension of two games, not only was insult to the intelligence of the American people, but a case of the NFL’s blatant and outdated policy. It was outrageous, sure, considering the once yearlong suspension to Josh Gordon
commissioner Roger Goodell. And why shouldn’t they? Still, it must be noted that the NFL is a 2,560-man league, not including coaches and assistants involved, with the average crime rates significantly below national average for men around in the 25-to-29 age range. In fact, the overall arrest rate of the NFL seems to be just 13 percent of the national average. Goodell, while a highly influential figure, cannot be held responsible for every individual in the league — a player’s crimes are
“[Goodell], due the influence that he holds, should be held to a higher standard than most as is the case with leaders of other industries with substantial power.” for testing positive for marijuana. However, there has since been great efforts to undo both wrongs with the new polices implemented that give harsher penalties to domestic violence. The primary reasons for the change was not the NFL’s apparent newfound respect for women, but to save face and correct a mistake. In light of the newer evidence from TMZ’s video of Rice physically knocking out his fiancée, many acclaimed figures have called for the resignation of NFL
not a reflection of his ability as a commissioner. Holding lower crime rates than the national average, however, is an indicator that the methodology of punishment overall has been successful, even though these notable cases receive a lot of public criticism. Also, for a majority of cases, there is a system in place to determine the number of games and monetary value of punishment a player receives beforehand so the actual punishment in many cases may be engraved in stone. This does not excuse the fact that
a highly disproportionate amount of the offenses are cases of domestic violence, with a relative arrest rate of 55.4 percent of the national average. While the new standard implemented should change the overall mindset and rate of the crimes committed with the awareness of the new policy, it did suggest previous negligence on Goodell’s part. The commissioner of the NFL, due to the influence that he holds, should be held to a higher standard than most as is the case with leaders of other industries with substantial power. While we may criticize Goodell for his role as a commissioner for a myriad of factors, it must be understood that the NFL is a business. Like all businesses, while we may fault it for many reasons, the bottom line is the entertainment quality for consumers and profit margins for the owners. This does not excuse the moral implications of covering up the Rice video, but we must heed caution at calling for the man’s job just because we don’t like him — being one of the most powerful men in sports is no easy feat. However, too many getaways with altering the game of football without public consent may be Goodell’s downfall, because if the cover-up conspiracies hold true, the biggest resignation in sports history may be in NFL’s future.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
End U. complicity with apartheid policies Pepsi allocations seem to be a small detail to consider when a club or organization on campus is figuring out its funding for the semester. Our University makes it very clear that reimbursements are not allowed for any beverages unless they are Pepsi products. It is such a small detail, yet the University is adamant we stick to it. On a superficial level, it is a weird infringement of freedom of choice. On a more serious note, it is
problematic for those of us who wish to be conscious consumers. As an executive board member of Students for Justice in Palestine, my fellow board members and I decided to finally refuse to use Pepsi products for our Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions kickoff on Sept. 10. BDS is a campaign, inspired by a similar one in the 1980s against apartheid in South Africa, which pressures Israel economically and calls for the end of its apartheid regime and occupation of Palestine. In addition to being responsible for approximately 2,000 Palestinian deaths — mostly civilians — this past summer,
the Israeli government has consistently appropriated land, murdered Palestinians of all ages and humiliated the Palestinian people through unnecessar y checkpoints, imprisonment without trials and more than 50 discriminator y laws. PepsiCo, unfor tunately, is one of many companies that actively suppor t Israel and its continued violations of human rights. We urge all Rutgers students and organizations to join us in our boycott. No company should have a monopoly at our University, let alone a company that supports systematic racial discrimination and oppres-
sion. Our University may wish to be complicit, but our students do not have to be. For more information on how to end your complicity, please join Students for Justice in Palestine for our general body meetings every other Monday, (including today, Sept. 22), or find us on Facebook or Twitter.

Last-minute Navy rally goes 68 yards in eight plays, falls short at 6-yard line
Goodwin, Peoples step up at running back following James’ first-half injury

went 68 yards in eight plays to move the ball to Rutgers’ 6-yard line, but then the rally fell apart. Senior cornerback Gareef Glashen deflected quarterback Keenan Reynolds’ 1st-and-goal pass down the middle. Consecutive sacks followed as Reynolds tried to evade pressure in the pocket. And on 4th-and-goal from the 19-yard line, receiver Jamir Tillman couldn’t stay in bounds on Reynolds’ heave into the corner of the end zone, leaving only 10 seconds on the clock. Rutgers’ fortitude resonated throughout the visiting team locker room afterward. “It says a lot about us and our character,” said senior strong safety Lorenzo Waters, who recorded a team-high nine tackles. “We can’t get down on ourselves. We’ve got to finish drives and finish games like this, and the fact that we did that today is definitely going to be big for our defense.” But it was what the Knights did on the other side of the ball that firmly established the game’s tone. Despite losing junior running back Paul James to a first-half leg injury, the Knights never veered from a seamless offensive game plan. In order to keep Navy’s rushing onslaught from controlling the clock, Rutgers prioritized pounding the holes its of fensive line created. Sophomores Justin Goodwin and Desmon Peoples reaped the benefits, tumbling to a combined 186 yards and two touchdowns. That allowed senior quarterback Gary Nova to play risk-free football and efficiently manage the game with 151 yards on 14 pass attempts. He also sneaked in two scores from the 1-yard line during a midgame stretch in which the Knights scored on five straight possessions. Most importantly, Rutgers consistently moved the chains and sustained drives. “We saw a lot of good looks we had to run the ball on film, so in practice we felt good about the scheme we had,” Nova said. “Once we got it going, we didn’t get away from it. We just threw a lot of stuff at them, and our [running] backs did a great job, offensive line played really well. It’s just great to win a game like that. It was a real battle up front.” Nothing was more telling of Rutgers’ success in that battle than the Knights’ outgaining the nation’s leader in rushing yards, 284-171. Navy came into the game leading the country with 403 yards per game, but even with 43 attempts, the Midshipmen couldn’t produce half that total. “In the grand scheme of things, that’s a pretty good job,” Waters said. “We set the bar at 100 — normally we like to limit teams to under 100 rushing yards — but with them exclusively running the football almost, you feel good about that.”
quarterback sneaks. Goodwin was quick to credit his offensive line for the success of a Rutgers offense that outrushed Navy 284 to 171. “I’ve got to give all the credit to the offensive line. They did a great job today,” Goodwin said. “They did great for everybody — me, PJ and Desmon. They opened up great holes and got out to the second level.” Peoples, who only had only one carry before James went down in the game, knew he had to perform after the injury. “I knew I had to step up, whether I wanted to or not,” Peoples said. “I just wanted to go in there and give it ever ything I had.” Although there are positives to take away from the game against Navy, including the performances from Goodwin and Peoples,

Flood still acknowledged the loss of James being big. “We now have one less guy in the rotation — somebody who has created a lot of big plays in the running game and did it again yesterday,” Flood said. “Paul is not going to be an easy guy to replace — he’s a very good football player — but we have good players in that room. It’s one of the deeper rooms on our team.” *** Rutgers only committed two penalties in the game against the Midshipmen, which resulted in a total of 24 yards. Throughout the practice week leading up to Navy, the Knights continuously preached how discipline would play a huge factor against the nation’s top-rushing team. “It was very important to play disciplined today,” said sophomore linebacker Steve Longa. “As you can see, we knew it was going to be a tough game going in, and it was a tough game to the last second. We had to minimize all our mistakes and stay disciplined, and we did that. We knew we were going to come out on top.” Flood recognized the lack of penalty yards, crediting the offen-

sive line and the Knights for their focus and effort. “When you play against a team like Navy, a team that plays with exceptional effort, if you don’t match their effort level and their motor, what ends up happening is you are going to get a bunch of holding calls,” Flood said. “That wasn’t the case. We only had two penalties on the entire day. That’s a good sign for us.” *** Junior punter Tim Gleeson averaged 45.3 yards per punt against Navy, landing one inside the 20-yard line and booting another 51 yards.
Flood named Gleeson as the starting punter during the week after splitting time with junior Joey Roth in the first three games of the season. *** The Knights handed Navy its first loss at home since 2012, snapping its eight-game winning streak. The Midshipmen’s unbeaten streak at home was the 10th-longest in the nation entering the weekend. For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @TylerKaralewich and @TargumSports on Twitter.

Forward’s strike seals defeat SEAN STEWART CORRESPONDENT
Trailing for the fifth consecutive game Saturday night at Yurcak Field, the Rutgers men’s soccer team found itself once again searching for retaliation against No. 14 Indiana. But unlike the Scarlet Knights’ last two home losses to Hofstra on Sept. 7 and Monmouth last Tuesday, they managed to earn an equalizer. Carrying momentum, the Knights seemed on their way to ending a three-game home losing streak, only to see those hopes vanish following one moment of brilliance from the Hoosiers’ star forward, Tanner Thompson. Instead, Rutgers (3-4, 1-1) lost its fourth consecutive home game and suffered its fourth defeat in five games, falling 2-1 to Indiana (4-1-2, 1-1) in its inaugural Big Ten home game. “I’m very pleased with the way they came out and played and the fight that they showed,” head coach Dan Donigan said of his team’s performance. “To be honest, we let one kid’s individual effort beat us on that second goal, and that’s unfortunate, but that’s the margin of error you’re dealing with in this game.” The Knights started the match with some notable position changes, swapping junior defender Mitchell Taintor to outside midfield and moving freshman Niel Guzman and sophomore defender Spencer Hambleton into the starting center back spots. It seemed to make little difference, though, with Indiana starting
the game on the front foot. The Hoosiers looked dangerous running at defenders at will and applying high pressure, but it was a mistake from sophomore goalkeeper David Greczek that gave Indiana its first big scoring chance. Greczek mistimed a jump going for an aerial ball and instead collided with a Hoosiers player in the penalty box 13 minutes into the game. But Greczek made amends for his error, denying Thompson on the penalty kick to keep the game scoreless. He made another great save seven minutes later to deny Hoosiers midfielder Jamie Vollmer on a shot to the far post. But Indiana’s Femi HollingerJanzen capitalized on the ensuing corner kick, pouncing on a loose ball in the box to put the Hoosiers up 1-0. In a familiar scenario, the Knights managed to find an equalizer this time around when freshman forward Jason Wright’s shot deflected off a defender to the feet of Guzman, who beat Indiana goalkeeper Colin Webb to the ball for a tap in to make it 2-1. It was Guzman’s first collegiate goal and one that shifted momentum in the Knights’ favor. “Honestly, it’s about time,” Guzman said of scoring his first goal. “It’s been four or five games now, and a couple games ago, I had an own goal, so it’s nice to score a goal on the other net.” After being outshot 11-7 in the first half, Rutgers managed to perform better in the second half, getting outshot only 6-5.
Unfortunately for the Knights, that one shot advantage proved to be the difference. In the 65th minute, Thompson managed to wriggle his way free from a couple Rutgers defenders near the top of the 18-yard box before sending a strike into the lower near corner of the goal. It was the first time this season Indiana had scored more than one goal in a game. The goal was also Thompson’s first of the year. The Knights had some late chances to equalize again, most notably when Wright’s attempted cross ricocheted off the cross bar. But overall, Rutgers needed to be more clinical in the final third, whether it was making the right pass or keeping a shot on target. “We had our chances,” said sophomore midfielder Erik Sa. “They obviously had their chances, but, you know, at that point, it’s just a matter of who scores on theirs and who gets a lucky bounce and stuff like that, but I think this one could have gone either way.” The loss gives Rutgers its first losing record of the season and is the sixth straight game the Knights have failed to secure a shutout. But given the nature of the defeat and the improved second half, Sa feels the team’s morale remains high. “I think the vibe is still positive,” Sa said. “…The fight was there, and the morale is definitely high, but you’d obviously like to get something out of that type of game.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s soccer team, follow @SeanStewartRU and @TargumSports on Twitter.

Sophomore’s goal propels Rutgers in bounce-back weekend GARRETT STEPIEN STAFF WRITER
After a disappointing first impression in its new conference following a 2-0 loss on the road at Maryland, a sour taste lingered in the mouth of the Rutgers women’s soccer team. For a long seven days, the Scarlet Knights got back to the basics as they prepared for what turned out to be the biggest weekend of the year in their first two Big Ten home games against Michigan State and Michigan. Evidently, head coach Mike O’Neill’s emphasis on breaking down film study and making the necessary fundamental adjustments in practice paid off. After junior midfielder Samantha Valliant’s crunch time heroics in the 89th minute on a beautifully placed free kick from the left side found the upper right corner of the net passed the outstretched arms of Michigan State goalkeeper Courtney Clem last Friday night, Rutgers set out to cap the weekend on a positive note Sunday against Michigan. Just like Friday’s game against Michigan State (6-3, 0-3), one goal was all the team needed.
Sophomore forward Jessica Puchalski’s goal in the 64th minute proved to be the difference-maker in the contest, as the Knights downed the Wolverines, 1-0, at Yurcak Field. For Rutgers (6-1, 2-1), following up the first loss of the season a week ago with two quality wins over two quality Big Ten opponents added to the sweetness of redemption. “It was important for us to bounce back and play well this weekend. And it was important for us to get the results because we’ve been working hard from day one,” O’Neill said. “I think to bring Michigan and Michigan State to Rutgers in our first Big Ten weekend and come out with two wins was very important to the girls, very important to the staff and very important to the University.” Michigan (7-3, 3-1), which came into the weekend surging with a five-game winning streak following a 2-1 win at Maryland last Friday, dropped its first conference game of the season. After a scoreless first half, the Knights came out of the locker room firing on offense. Senior forward Amy Pietrangelo let a few shots fly early on, clanking a shot
CROSS COUNTRY
Knights place third at Monmouth invite MIKE O’SULLIVAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Rutgers cross country teams raced in Saturday’s 20th Annual Monmouth Cross Country Invitational, which took place at a familiar New Jersey course in Holmdel Park. The women’s team attempted to defend its previous two titles at Holmdel but finished in third place this time around in the nineteam field. Quinnipiac won the race, followed by Marist taking second place and the Scarlet Knights rounding out the top three. Junior Paige Senatore posted the best time for the Knights, placing fourth overall with a time of 18:44.0. Senior Brianna Deming finished 13th overall with a time of 18.58.2 in the 5,000-meter race. Freshman Megan Coakley finished in 23rd place in 19:41.4 and was immediately followed by senior Allison Payenski with a time of 19:42.0 for 24th place. A pair of freshmen also finished back-to-back in the race. Julia DeSpirito and Alexandra Juzwiak finished with times of 19:58.8 and 20:00.4 for 33rd and 34th place, respectively. Women’s assistant coach Jan Merrill-Morin said the team felt fine about its performance despite not winning. “Overall, I thought it was a fairly decent performance,” Merrill-Morin said. “It wasn’t our best, but our overall average [time] was quite faster than last year’s average, so we’re pleased with that.” She mentioned Senatore and Deming as having very good races, also noting that Coakley was very effective.
“We had one freshman in particular [Coakley] that ran a very good race,” Merrill-Morin said. “She ran a little fast in the beginning, but she ended up third for us, so I’d say that was a very good performance.” The men’s team finished eighth overall while the home team, Monmouth, won the event. Junior Jaimin Vekaria, who posted a team-best 27:53.9 for 42nd place, led the Knights. Freshman Trent Brinkofski was close behind Vekaria and took home 44th place with a time of 27:58.3. Sophomore Nick Price finished 50th overall with a time of 28:02.9 in the 8,000-meter contest, while freshman Luke Wiley was 65th overall in 28:28.0. Vekaria felt the team ran well at Holmdel and sees an overall improvement. “I think it was definitely a good performance, better than we had two weeks ago in Fordham,” Vekaria said. “The weather was nice, and everyone came out and raced very hard, and they had very smart races.” He also said everything mostly went as expected in the race, as the Knights knew what times they were trying to attain. “I think mostly everyone hit their marks the way we expected to,” he said. “Trent Brinkofski, a freshman, was second for the team, and [sophomore] Nick Price was third. … They were very close, but Trent just beat him out at the end.” Vekaria said it was great to see the support the Knights had from their families at Holmdel. “I think everyone’s parents at least came out, which is a big thing,” he said. “Having family, friends and coaches cheering you on is a really good feeling.”
off the crossbar in the 48th minute and sailing a few more just high over the net. But senior forward Stef Scholz and her aggressive, smooth ball-handling set up an opportunity for Rutgers to capitalize on moments later in the 64th minute. Scholz received the ball from sophomore midfielder Madison Tiernan on the right side of the box and turned sharply on the corner to beat a Michigan defender. The second she realized she had the corner, she fired a cross into the box where she found Puchalski. “That’s what Stef usually does,” Puchalski said. “She’ll dribble it down and cross it in, and I kind of saw that I needed to go like more front post there, so I tried to make my run there, and it worked out.” In traffic, Puchalski caught the cross from Scholz and banked it in past Michigan goalkeeper Megan Hinz for her second goal of the season. Scholz was credited with the assist. Unlike last week’s game against Maryland where O’Neill said time of possession hindered the Knights, they seized the momentum and made the Wolverines play to their control.

With the game being televised nationally on Big Ten Network, Scholz and Rutgers capped a bounce back weekend, showing the conference what they can do when on top of their game. “It was a great weekend for us,” Scholz said. “Coming off a loss to Maryland, we stepped it
up. … We got the six points [in the Big Ten standings] we needed, so we’re sitting really well, and we played a great game against a great Michigan team.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

To make matters worse, Navy’s high-powered triple-option rushing attack unexpectedly passed the ball more than the Scarlet Knights’ offense in the first half, and Rutgers had to alter its defensive alignments. The Knights ultimately found themselves in a precarious situation late in the game, much like last week against Penn State. Only this time, Rutgers came through when all the chips were on the table.

Flood pointed to the critical red-zone stop as a step in the right direction for his defense, and with plenty of good reason. After Navy (2-2) stopped Rutgers (3-1) short on 3rd-and-1, junior Tim Gleeson punted the ball 40 yards to the Midshipmen’s 26-yard line, and the stage for redemption was set.
