Ever yone thinks they are the first person to ask Muf fin Lord about the origin of her name, but this is not the case. The administrative director of the School of Ar ts and Sciences Honors Program and the scholarship administrator of the School of Ar ts and Sciences earned the No. 5 spot on the Buzzfeed list

“25 People With Better Names Than You” published in June. When her father was fighting in World War II, Lord and her twin sister lived in her maternal grandfather’s house with her aunt and mother. Originally named Nancy, Lord said living with her aunt, who had the same name, became confusing. So Lord got the nickname, SEE LORD ON PAGE 6

Darsh Patel, a Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences senior from Edison, New Jersey, was killed yesterday in a bear attack while hiking in the Apshawa Preserve in West Milford Township. President Robert L. Barchi emailed the University community yesterday informing it of the attack and sending thoughts and prayers to the 22-year-old’s family and friends. “I deeply regret to report that we learned this morning of the passing of another Rutgers student, Darsh Patel, a senior in the School of Arts and Sciences majoring in information technology and informatics,” Barchi said via email. “Darsh was killed in a bear attack yesterday while hiking with friends in a wooded area of Passaic County.” Bill Maer, the department spokesman for the Passaic County Sheriff’s Department, said a group of five hikers began the hike on the preserve. After a bear followed them, only four came out. After the hikers called the West Milford police, a search began for the missing hiker. Patel was found at around 5:54 p.m., according to nj.com. The sheriff’s office has ruled out foul play or criminal activity, and Maer said there were bear sightings in the general area where the hikers were yesterday. “We have not had a bear attack that I’m aware of in a long time, if

ever,” Maer said. “Generally, there’s not much interaction between individuals and bears.” West Milford Police Chief Timothy Storbeck said the black bear was found and euthanized, according to nj.com. Larry Ragonese, the press director for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection said

Study shows link between happy marriage, happy life ALEX GRILLO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

On a fall afternoon in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 2007, Deborah Carr and Julie Halpert sat perpendicular to one another on uncomfortable antique chairs in the dining room of Halpert’s home. These chairs, along with the remaining six, were positioned around a family dining room table, covered with 14 transcribed inter views, scattered Post-it notes, dated laptops and two sizable jars of candy. Halpert, a freelance journalist and journalism instructor at the University of Michigan, said she enlisted Carr to help her develop her book idea after reading some of Carr’s work. The assignment was called “Making Up with Mom: Why Mothers and Daughters Disagree About Kids, Careers, and Casseroles (and What to Do About It),” a book on generational differences between daughters and mothers and steps to their resolution. Halpert said Carr was optimistic, meticulous, smart, supportive and insightful. “I don’t know how I would have done it by myself,” Halpert said. “It was great having [Carr] be that other person.”

the last recorded bear attack in New Jersey was in 1852, and Sunday’s attack was “unique and unusual.” He also said West Milford is one of the most populated places in the state for black bears. According to the DEP’s website, people can reduce conflicts with

wanted to take an approach she felt was insufficiently covered. “Rather than looking at one’s own happiness in the marriage and overall life satisfaction, we looked to see whether our partners happiness with the marriage affects how we feel about our lives,” Carr said.

With several parking lots and spaces disappearing during construction on the College Avenue campus, some professors say they are feeling the squeeze. Around 15 metered parking spots have been removed since the star t of the projects over a year ago, said Mitch Karon, executive director of the New Brunswick Parking Authority. At the end of 2015 going into 2016, NBPA plans to replace the metered parking. Christopher Paladino, president of the New Brunswick Development Corporation, said the metered parking spaces had to be removed for safety reasons. In the past few years, Rutgers has also lost Lot 8 on the corner

The study involved analyzing more than 300 surveys from couples married for an average span of 39 years with a succinct hypothesis in mind.

“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.

Rutgers hosts talk with author of Newark novel, memoir KELSEY WEIDMANN STAFF WRITER

As a child, Robert Curvin would often take bike rides through Newark — along the river, down in the ironbound or past the chocolate factory where he hoped to get some sweets tossed to him. “[The city] is in my DNA,” he said. Cur vin spoke about his new book, “Inside Newark: Decline, Rebellion, and the Search for Transformation,” last night at a book talk hosted by the Eagleton Institute of Politics on Douglass campus. In his book, the civil rights leader and visiting scholar at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy examines the city’s history, politics and culture, and talks about all the issues impacting it. Despite its challenges, he claims Newark will once again become a booming, vibrant city. During the 1950s, Newark was a successful industrial city, but it has gone through numerous riots and rebellions over time. Curvin argues Newark has fallen because its leaders fail to work through the hardships the city faces. He said if those in power can work to improve the social and economic states of the people and reform education, participate in the local government, manage finances and partner with businesses, the city will have a real chance at change. The book has been described as “not just a scholarly book and not just a memoir, but a hybrid.” Curvin agrees, saying he writes about personal stories, like how he participated in the rebellion, and he came to the conclusion that everyone can tell their story. Curvin was born in Newark, and even though he grew up in neighboring Belleville, the city was always a part of his life. One of nine children, he grew up without money to go on vacation — instead, he would go to visit his aunt in Newark. As a “Newarker,” Curvin believes he needs to get his story out for people to hear. To research the story, he interviewed 60 people from Newark who have participated in the life of the city and captured their stories on video.

Curvin said these videos are one of the most powerful things to come out of the project because they will be available far into the future for others to experience. The book tries to give the reader a sense of what Newark is really like with its relationships, government and other factors, Curvin said. One challenge Newark faces is that it is a narrow city, and the airport and seaport take up a large chunk of it. This leaves little room for residential and commercial communities to prosper. “Twenty-four plus acres, but maybe about 17 of those acres are actually available for residential and commercial [use],” Curvin said. The population and type of people has a large impact on the city as well, Curvin said. In 1960, the city was composed of twothirds white to one-third minority. By 1970, it was the complete opposite, with two-thirds minority and one-third white, Curvin said. Curvin said leadership has really affected the city. Most of the mayors began with good intentions but were unable to carry them out. Kenneth Gibson, the first black mayor of a large northeastern city, and Sharpe James, another former Newark major, made major accomplishments, but ultimately became too self-interested and greedy to focus on the improvement of the city. James oversaw major developments like the Performing Arts Center and the development of Springfield Avenue, but Curvin said he could have done much more. Curvin said even Cory Booker “overpromised.” He did not devote much time to managing the city. In a management sense, he did nothing to change the things he claimed he would. Janz Gonzalez, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, said he was sad, but not surprised to hear that the mayors had little influence on the city. He said unfortunately, much of the time they are focused too much on money to actually make a difference. The Institute often hosts book talks to highlight fresh takes on politics, and Curvin’s new book fit in perfectly, said Kathy Kleeman, se-

Robert Curvin, author of “Inside Newark: Decline, Rebellion, and the Search for Transformation,” spoke yesterday at the Eagleton Institute of Politics on Douglass. DAPHNE ALVA / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER nior communications officer of the Eagleton Institute of Politics and the Center for American Women and Politics. Kleeman said many students who attend Rutgers are from Newark, so they would be interested on learning about the city’s past and present circumstances.

“Since it’s New Jersey’s largest city, and since it is in many ways an example of where American cities have been and where they’re headed, the subject should be of interest to anyone concerned about the future of our state and nation,” Kleeman said.

Curvin stresses at the end of the book that leadership really matters. He said good leadership knows how to manage differences and conflict. “I think leadership that is honest, that has a vision even if it can’t be truly realized but speaks to the needs of people, can make a difference,” Curvin said.

CONSTRUCTION Molenaar said conceptual plan existed for parking deck behind Lot 11 under facilities department CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Construction on the corner of College Avenue and Hamilton Street has forced many faculty and staff to give up parking. YINGJIE HU / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

of College Avenue and Hamilton Street, part of Lot 11 and smaller lots accessible from Bishop Street due to construction, said Jack Molenaar, director of the Rutgers University Department of Transportation Ser vices. John Belton, a professor in the Depar tment of English, believes the parking overload has become much more intense in terms of number of parking spaces available and the number of people who need them. Belton works at Murray Hall on the College Avenue campus and often found himself parking in Lot 11 before all of the construction began. Now, the lack of parking spaces severely affects his commute. “There was an important department meeting we had a few weeks ago, and in order to find parking for the meeting at 10 a.m., I had to arrive at 7:30 a.m.,”

he said. “At that point, there were plenty of spaces, but they usually disappear at 8:15 a.m.” Parking is still available on the Livingston and Busch campuses, Molenaar said, as well as

some spaces on the top of the College Avenue parking deck. Molenaar and his team had made visual scans of the deck

and has found that even during the busiest times of the week, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, the top of the deck has been empty. “We actually sold the commuter [Zone A] permits and maxed them out at a lower number than previous years to make sure we had enough spaces for faculty and staf f,” he said. Molenaar also said some faculty had been moved to the Old Queens por tion of the Easton Avenue deck. According to a September 2013 ar ticle in The Daily Targum, Rutgers originally planned to add a parking deck to the redevelopment project. Molenaar claimed a conceptual plan existed for a deck at the back of Lot 11 under the facilities depar tment. But Paladino said there would be no parking on site. “[Only] street parking will be returned,” Paladino said. He argued the metered parking spaces should not be returned, but that was the city’s decision. The University and DEVCO reached a policy decision to utilize the property and create as much green space and building space as possible, Paladino said. Paladino said the College Avenue campus should not have any parking spaces. Instead, people should walk, bike or take public transpor tation. “Essentially we’re building a large park there,” he said. “There was a choice to create green space on this campus that was seriously deficient, instead of building additional parking.” Rutgers Hillel owns Lot 11, not DEVCO, Molenaar said. They once owned a property on the corner for Bishop and George Street and were planning to build a house on that corner. Now Rutgers is using that property as the future Honors College. “It’s all a complicated development deal,” he said. Belton feels that only aggravated the problem, and this year was not the best time to give up those lots. One of the problems Belton faces as a film professor is working with a great deal of materials he needs for his classes, such as a computer and real film. “For me, it’s an extra burden,” he said. “I can drop of f the material and then go park, and then either walk or find transpor tation back.” Belton is angered that Rutgers gave parking permits to construction workers for Lot 16 behind Murray Hall on the College Avenue campus. They park before 8:15 a.m. and take up the few spots faculty and staf f still has, he said. Belton has left messages and visited the parking of fice. He asked if they were planning to add additional parking. They said no and told him to take any complaints to their super visor. He feels the administration should hold some sor t of mediation over possible solutions. “None of this has been discussed in any reasonable form,” Belton said. “If construction engineers are going to dictate what faculty and staff should be doing in terms of arranging to get to work, that seems to be a problem.”

MARRIAGE Study reveals that husband’s health tends to be proportional to wife’s happiness CONTINUED FROM FRONT

The results show that the husband’s happiness is dependent on the marital happiness of his wife. For those between 55 and 85, a happy wife is more prone to be kind to, support and be intimate with her husband, Carr said. A happy marriage is a good predictor of overall happiness because much of a spouse’s life is spent with the significant other, Carr said, especially as the couple ages. A happy marriage can lead to improved health, happiness and quality of life. The results of the study were not mirrored for a wife’s overall happiness in relation to her husband’s marital happiness, Carr said. She believes this is because, while women in the study’s age range are vocal in their feelings toward marriage, men of an older generation are much more reserved. Another reason is that social constructs of the older generation mold men as those who provide by working and not caregiving, she said.

Daughters, sisters or friends tend to take care of the wife instead. The study also revealed that a husband’s health tends to be directly proportional to a wife’s happiness, Carr said. This goes back to the dynamics of caregiving in older generation marriages. The results might be different if the same study was administered to those currently in their 20s and 30s when their age reaches the range of this study. She believes the changing interaction between men and women, as well as gender roles, is a factor. Younger men are more likely to open dialogue about marriage and younger women are working more. Emily Greenfield, associate professor in the School of Social Work at Rutgers, said Carr’s study exemplifies her strengths. She said Carr, who was the reason she came to Rutgers, takes a common assumption and uses optimal data and methodologies to test it out. Greenfield said it is evident that Carr, who has been her col-

black bears by securing trash and eliminating obvious sources of food, like bird feeders or food residue left on barbeque grills. People should use certified bear-resistant garbage containers or garbage cans with tight-fitting lids. Removing fruit and nuts that fall from trees and not throwing meat or sweet foods in compost piles will also reduce the chance of attracting black bears, as will installing electric fencing to protect crops and beehives. The area where the hikers were was a wide open, 80-square

mile rural or only semi-developed area, Ragonese said. The residents of the area are used to spotting black bears. In the past, the bears have broken into houses, cars and garages looking for food or a place to sleep, he said, but they are not known to aggressively go after people. The attack is currently under investigation by the New Jersey State Medical Examiner, the New Jersey DEP Fish and Wildlife and the West Milford Police Department, according to a press release from the West Milford Police Department. According to an email from Claire McInerney, acting dean of the School of Communication and

league since 2007, does what she loves and is both a good scholar and person. “I think her energy comes from this incredible sense of purpose in the work she does and the integrity she has towards her colleagues, her students and her work as a whole,” Greenfield said. Carr agreed she loves doing research, which she views as a “puzzle.” “You start with a question, and you don’t know what you’re going to find,” she said. “The discovery and reasoning and thinking to come up with an answer is a lot of fun.” Halpert said Carr is incredible and warm. Carr got a huge kick out of the work she and Halpert did together, Halpert said. Carr explores things people care about and tries to comprehend what makes people happy. Carr is working on further studies on marriage. She has a study in progress that has found that women in their second marriage are happier than they were in their first. She is also studying how marriage affects frustration, anxiety and sadness. Carr will be the editor of the Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences in January 2015. Greenfield said this is a big deal for Rutgers and it solidifies the University’s prominence in the scholarly field of aging.

this week. Caitlyn Kovacs, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences sophomore, was pronounced dead Sunday morning after appearing to be in distress at a fraternity party, according to an article published yesterday in The Daily Targum. The cause of death appears to be alcohol related. Felicia McGinty, vice chancellor for Student Affairs, said in an email that the loss of any student impacts the larger community.

“We are saddened to learn of the passing of Darsh Patel,” she said. “Students are the heart of the University, and the loss of any student profoundly impacts the Rutgers community. It’s important for students to know that we are here to support them during this difficult time and have counseling and staff available to help them process feelings and work through grief.” A previous version of this article appeared online yesterday.

Hello Essay helps students get expert feedback

Hello Essay, launched in 2013, allows users to hire professional editors to provide advice and editing for their essays. Ranging from $39 to $59, users can make use of the standard edits or the premium edits that include additonal feedback. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY MICHELLE KLEJMONT / PHOTO EDITOR

TYLER GOLD AND MEET PATEL STAFF WRITERS

Anyone who struggles with editing essays now has a new space to receive professional writing advice. Launched in May 2013, Hello Essay is an app that lets students hire professional editors to provide advice and editing for their essays. Zack Homer, CEO and co-founder of Hello Essay, said his goal was to create a legitimate place for students to find writing support. Students can select an editor based on criteria such as essay type, subject area and length requirements, or if the content is for admission to a program, Homer said. Editors, which include former admissions officers and Ivy League scholars, have a wide range of expertise in a number of subject areas. Hello Essay even goes so far as to hire bilingual editors to assist non-English speaking students in their native languages. Homer said the service is not designed to compete with university writing centers, but to compliment them. “Hello Essay was created to offer writing/ESL centers a safe place to send students who require assistance beyond the center’s time or availability,” Homer said via email. Providing an ethical option for students feeling the pressure of a deadline is one of the main goals of Hello Essay, Homer said.

“It leaves these students with a sense of urgency that can lead them to plagiarize, purchase essays, use ‘essay mills’ or seek expensive and/or unethical outside assistance,” Homer said of those that resort to academic dishonesty. Luckily, Hello Essay is a far more reliable, honest resource for students. Standard edits, which cost $39, include checking the style consistency of the essay, making suggestions on sentence construction, correcting formatting errors, and proofreading the essay. The app also provides necessary feedback. Premium edits bump the price up to $59 and include three additional types of feedback, including suggestions on organization and structure to enhance the flow and the general presentation of the essay. An editor will also recommend strategies to improve the overall clarity and effectiveness of the essay’s central message. The app also provides a “Hello Assessment,” offering information and advice regarding the essay’s strengths and weaknesses. Two delivery options are available for users — “standard delivery,” which promises edits in a 72hour window and a “rush” option that delivers edits in 24-hours or less for an additional $40. While this may seem pricy, it’s important to remember that the Rutgers Writing Center on the College Avenue campus offers free essay critiques, but other students, not professionals, will most likely do these.

Representation of minorities lacking in media, film #REALTALK SARA ZAYED

ecently, I was having a conversation with a friend about media representation and whether or not it matters. My friend was of the opinion that the burden of responsibility lies with parents, who should choose to show their children content with diverse characters, while I believe producers should take initiative in representing minorities in films and on news networks. I thought about it for a while after ward — our arguments each had their merits, but I remain convinced the issue of representation is still a large one at its root. Not only do white males dominate the screen, but even characters who should be represented by people of color are traditionally depicted by white people, like Katniss Everdeen in “The Hunger Games” (who was described as having olive skin in the book) and Cleopatra. First of all, there is huge inequality in the movie industry. There’s a 5:1 ratio of men working in films to women, and during the 85th Academy Awards, no

women were nominated for directing, cinematography, film editing, writing or music. Of the four female filmmakers nominated in Academy Award history, only one has won (Kathryn Bigelow) and none were women of color. In 2013, Angelina Jolie made approximately the same amount as the two lowest-ranked male actors. And of women on screen in general, only 30.8 percent were speaking characters, according to the New York Film Academy.

concerns race, sexism, domestic abuse or anything specifically pertaining to a particular group. Other wise, white males dominate the scene on politics, foreign policy and economics. Why is any of this important? Stereotypical representations of minorities perpetuate cultural ideas that encourage racism and sexism. They influence attitudes and reinforce gender and racial segregation still present in society, no

“Stereotypical representations of minorities perpetuate cultural ideas that encourage racism and sexism. They influence attitudes and reinforce gender and racial segregation still present in society, no matter if messages you might receive tell you otherwise.” The problem extends beyond Hollywood. Sixty-five to 70 percent of the guests on MSNBC, CNN and Fox are male. Worse still, 83 to 88 percent of their guests are white, with a number of ethnic groups disregarded entirely, according to Media Matters for America. There is absolutely no lack of qualified women and men of color, but mainstream news tells us a different stor y. It appears that women and people of color are more likely to be invited as guests only when the topic

matter if messages you might receive tell you other wise. And worst of all, they dehumanize people and reduce them to one or two characteristics associated with a race or gender. So, if the answer is to filter the content we watch so we see ourselves represented in more diverse characters, the question is: Where do we find that content? Ask yourselves if the movies you watch pass the Bechdel test: Do at least two female characters talk to each other about

something other than a man? Do the news networks you follow feature guests who aren’t cookie cutter professionals and who represent the diverse range of people actually in the workforce? On a more basic level, it’s easy to understand why people need to see characters that look like them. Growing up, I wanted to be something I wasn’t because the movies and television shows I watched idealized women who didn’t look like me, and, frankly, didn’t have the complexities that most, if not all, pre-teen girls have. In other words, I was socialized into thinking I wasn’t good enough. Media is threaded into our daily lives, whether we acknowledge it or not. Minorities are people. They have the same experiences, emotions and desires and should be treated as such. We can do better than this. The first step is to critically analyze the messages we get from media about minorities. The second step is to support movies with equal representation. And the third, of course, is to demand for them. It all starts with being more aware. Sara Zayed is a School of Arts and Sciences junior majoring in computer science with a minor in mathematics.

U. must address issues of abuse in residence halls NOTHING, IF NOT CRITICAL PHILIP WYTHE

esidence Life provides unique living oppor tunities for Rutgers students. From the Douglass Residential College’s inclusive residence halls to the Livingston Apar tments’ lovely study halls, Residence Life works hard to create housing for Rutgers students. However, residence hall communities can quickly become unsafe. The close, intimate living spaces created within these communities, combined with the cumbersome school schedules of many Rutgers residents, often leads to community issues festering beneath the surface. If temperatures remain unchecked, this can lead to abusers gaining influence over others — mobilizing communities against their victims, for their own personal enjoyment. During my three years at Rutgers, I’ve unfortunately found that abusers run rampant in living spaces that have no proper restraints. This was the case for a friend of mine — for the purpose of this column, I’ll refer to as “Scarlet” — who recently came out to me about her own experience with abuse at Rutgers. Scarlet is a senior. She spent her past three years at Rutgers living on campus, and many of her friendships were built around her residence hall. This began to change, however, after her ex-boyfriend

“

abused her. Sexual assault and emotional abuse became a common occurrence within the relationship, and she felt trapped. “I was having lots of lasting effects from the abuse he put me through,” Scarlet told me in private. “Which, aside from being raped regularly, involved lots of yelling, not listening to anything I had to say, purposely making me upset and then making me apologize for being upset, things typical with emotional abuse.” Scarlet was stalked by her abuser, as he obsessively texted her, liked old Facebook posts and “even came into [her] room, at

and he began to plant rumors about Scarlet within the community. At any moment, the residence hall community could have unified and stopped Scarlet’s harassment. Instead, the abuse continued over time, as the hall’s community began to take sides on the issue. “I stopped being invited to Brower, to parties, even to just hanging out. My friends were talking to me less,” Scarlet said. Residents within the community became angry with her and began mocking her for her feminist views. An eBoard member within the hall even began publicly harassing her on Facebook.

“Earlier this year, the White House invited Rutgers University to serve as a pilot university for a sexual assault climate survey program. However, how can we create an accurate picture of sexual assault at Rutgers if our own communities sweep abuse, harassment and sexual assault allegations under the rug?” two in the morning one night, to scream at [her] about how [they] should be together.” Gaslighting became a frequent occurrence, as he attempted to convince her that he had been a thoughtful boyfriend despite his repeated abusive behavior. Scarlet vehemently refused to get back together with her abuser. In retaliation, he began turning the residence hall community against her by spreading rumors about her across the hall. “I found out there was a rumor going around that I falsely accused my [current boyfriend] of rape over the summer, which never happened,” Scarlet told me. Her abuser began spending time with her friends,

The harassment only grew worse, as the community remained unchecked. Scarlet found herself bullied out of hall leadership. “I was starting to face harassment to my face. I went to spring training for a leadership position in the hall that I had been elected for before breaking up with my ex,” she said. “And at this training I was excluded, and laughed at and whispered about right in front of me.” Scarlet was forced to leave her leadership position for her own wellbeing, yet this did not placate her harassers. The tipping point came this month, after several hall members threw a birthday party for her abuser in her own room and stole

all of the beer from her refrigerator. Scarlet felt this personally violated her privacy, and she finally left the hall for good. But Scarlet emphasizes that her story is not an outlier. “Multiple people have been targeted by the community to make them feel uncomfortable enough that they would want to leave,” she said. “This happened to three people last year, and so far three people this year.” Indeed, bullying and harassment within on-campus communities remains a serious problem at Rutgers. On-campus halls create close, intimate spaces that, without strict control, lead to abusers running amuck. Whether through hall leadership or personal connections, abusers manipulate others: building a network of enablers to harass their victims. Earlier this year, the White House invited Rutgers University to serve as a pilot university for a sexual assault climate survey program. However, how can we create an accurate picture of sexual assault at Rutgers if our own communities sweep abuse, harassment and sexual assault allegations under the rug? If Rutgers wants to stand with sexual abuse and assault sur vivors, the University must strive to end on-campus abuse. We must learn to stand with students like Scarlet and raise their voices high. Other wise, sur vivors will be trapped in their own communities, with no room to escape abuse.

SUCCESS

BACKS

O’Neill attributes success early in season to RU’s unity from top to bottom

Flood says James has been handling ACL injury as well as anyone possibly could

CONTINUED FROM BACK

solid start in what is highly regarded as the best women’s soccer conference in the country. After dropping their first game of the season in the Big Ten opener at Maryland, a 2-0 shutout, O’Neill and his players bounced back over the weekend with a pair of wins over a couple of quality opponents in Michigan and Michigan State. The reasoning behind the strong redemption? According to O’Neill, it’s the unity of the team from top to bottom. “We talk so much about the value of team because we have 30 kids on the roster, 30 players on the team, that have been working hard from day one,” O’Neill said. “… You can’t play everybody, but I think it speaks volumes [that] the players that are waiting their turn … come out to practice and push each other every day [even though] no one really knows much about what they do.” Throughout the week leading up to games, Rutgers heavily relies on game preparation with its intrasquad scrimmaging. This allows the emulation of a game-like environment with the possibility of important situations rising unexpectedly. Sophomore forward Jessica Puchalski said the preparation not only helps make starters and players receiving the most time better, but it adds to the experience and depth of the team throughout the roster. “I think that right now, everyone, when they go in and their time comes, [is] ready, and they want to help the team do better,” Puchalski said. “So, we’re all just working to help the team do better.” Depth is a key component to what makes the Knights unique. In Sunday’s game against Michigan, O’Neill unloaded six players off the bench, generating 17 total players into the game. With players like Puchalski coming off the bench, there is more than just the aid of fresh legs to help the tiresome players out on the field. Along with other players off the bench, Puchalski provides an explosive offensive threat off the bench that can make an immediate impact. In Sunday’s game, Puchalski did just that. She was in the right place at the right time in the 64th minute, tapping in a cross from senior forward Stef Scholz to lift Rutgers past Michigan. The play was a prime example of something that could happen at any time with any given player on the Knights’ roster. “There are no gaps when people come in,” Scholz said. “Everyone’s giving their best the whole time.”

weapon for the Rutgers football team, there is one person taking away positives from injury. According to head coach Kyle Flood, that person is James. “[James has handled it] as well as any athlete could possibly handle it,” Flood said. “I haven’t seen him hang his head one bit. I haven’t seen a frown on his face. He’s determined to come back next year better than ever. I have no doubt in my mind he will.” Flood has constantly reiterated

VERSATILITY Rutgers scored its lone goal versus Indiana without two of its veteran players CONTINUED FROM BACK Though this year has had plenty of inconsistencies, the team as a whole is deeper and much less reliant on one player than a season ago. “Definitely, depth-wise, we’re a lot deeper,” said sophomore midfielder Erik Sa. “I think we can put out maybe 14, 15 guys on the field and you won’t really see a drop in play, which is really nice. I don’t know if we had that last year.” A big part of the Knights’ improved depth has been from their new recruiting class.

Freshman forwards Miles Hackett and Jason Wright, along with the additions of juniors Rayon Gibbs and Olisa Eze have given Rutgers more options up front. But nowhere has the Knights’ depth been more tested than on defense. Injuries to junior defender Drew Morgan and sophomore defender Spencer Hambleton forced sophomore Kieran Kemmerer and freshman Niel Guzman to step up. But even without Morgan in the lineup, Donigan has shown a willingness to mix up his tactics. Against Indiana, junior defender Mitchell Taintor started the game as an outside midfielder, pairing Guzman and the recently recovered Hambleton into the center back spots. Although Guzman and Taintor eventually switched spots, the position changes not only showed

Given how strong the Spartans are at home, Donigan feels players recovering will be important. “Just to get guys healthy,” Donigan said. “… That [Indiana game] takes a lot of work and effort and output from our guys but I still am very happy with this group. I think we’re a tough team to play and we just got to get ready for a road game at Michigan State.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s soccer team, follow @SeanStewartRU and @TargumSports on Twitter.

September 23, 2014 KNIGHT NOTEBOOK SIX STARTERS LISTED AS QUESTIONABLE FOR TULANE

Injuries take toll on Rutgers after demanding Navy week GREG JOHNSON SPORTS EDITOR

Although it escaped Annapolis with a win Saturday against Navy, the Rutgers football team is already feeling the effects of going up against one of the more physical teams in the country. Sixteen Scarlet Knights litter this week’s injury report — six more than last Monday after the Penn State game. Five Knights will be out this Saturday against Tulane, including junior running back Paul James, whom head coach Kyle Flood announced Sunday is done for the season with a torn ACL. Six other starters are questionable: sophomore cornerback Nadir Barnwell, senior Gareef Glashen, junior tight end Tyler Kroft, sophomore right guard Chris Muller, senior linebacker Kevin Snyder and sophomore free safety Delon Stephenson. Flood pointed to the physical and mental grind that went into preparation for Navy and made the following week a challenge. But it’s nothing Rutgers didn’t expect to face. “Week five of the season, every team is the country is having their depth get tested,” Flood said. “This is kind of the ebbs and flows of the season. You have to count on your depth to plug in, and then count on your coaching staff to make sure that the players that are available to you, we’re putting them in the best possible position to help us.” Rutgers’ first bye week doesn’t come until after the sixth game Oct. 4 against Michigan. That’s the program’s longest stretch without a weekend off since 1998.

Each of the last four seasons, the Knights had their first bye week no later than after the fourth game, so no current player has experienced this type of grind before. Still, the Knights insist it’s not something they’re worried about. “I never really thought about it like that,” said senior left guard Kaleb Johnson. “We’re just staying focused within the game, just trying to build on each week’s performances. I actually think it’s a good thing because we keep building our momentum. Usually with a bye week, it’s almost like a break in the season where … you lose all the momentum. So right now, I feel like it’s good for us.” Darius Hamilton isn’t looking for sympathy, either. Openly passionate about his love for the game, the junior defensive tackle says it’s just a matter of players taking care of their bodies. “It’s football. It’s a game you’ve played your whole life, and you know exactly what you get when you sign up,” Hamilton said. “You never count the reps at practice, you never count the days. You’re just happy to be around one another and doing what you’re doing.” *** Sophomore wide receiver Andre Patton is listed probable to play this week after missing the first four games with an upper body injury. A preseason co-starter opposite of junior Leonte Carroo, the 6-foot4 Patton suffered a freak injury when he fully extended his body on a touchdown in the second scrimmage, Flood said. “It’s definitely a bonus to have one more guy to add to that wide receiver mix,” Flood said. “That’ll help us.”

When looking at the rundown of a team, many tend to be attracted by the big numbers that highlight the key players. Accolades, such as All-Conference or All-American, attribute to the hype surrounding marquee players as the key components for successful teams. But when it comes to the Rutgers women’s soccer team, those common ideas and beliefs go right out the window. On paper, it’s easy to look at the Scarlet Knights and imagine they thrive simply of f an abundance of talent. It’s easy to assume the talent begins and ends with a select few players. But head coach Mike O’Neill and his team buy in on the foundation of a we-before-me style. The first-year head coach’s style has clearly yielded positive results. The Knights (6-1, 2-1) have gotten off to a

Facing a 1-0 deficit midway through the first half Saturday against No. 14 Indiana, Rutgers head men’s soccer coach Dan Donigan made a bold substitution. Donigan elected to substitute junior forward J.P. Correa and senior midfielder Nathan Bruccoleri for freshman midfielder Dante Perez and redshirt freshman midfielder Jack Young. With two of the Scarlet Knights’ best and most experienced players on the bench against a Hoosiers team that was difficult to break down, it seemed a bit risky. But instead of a drop-off in play, the Knights held their own and tied the game without Correa or Bruccoleri on the field. Those moments were few and far between last year for Rutgers, struggling mightily to replace former star for ward Kene Eze when injured, which exposed a lack of bench options.

Quarterback Gary Nova was among the first to console running back Paul James after he went down with a torn ACL on Saturday at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

When junior running back Paul James went down with a lower body injury early in the second quarter Saturday against Navy, the first person to run over to him was Gary Nova.

encounter between Nova and James all too significant. “When I hand the ball off, I have to finish my fake and carry out. So, sometimes, I don’t really see what happens,” Nova said. “When I saw the ball squirt out and everyone rush to the ball, I was talking to the ref to see if he was down. Then I saw P.J. He was grabbing his leg, and I ran over there. It was kind of déjà vu. I’ve seen that before, and it was a bad feeling. So I just went to the sideline after and prayed for him, hoping for the best.” SEE BACKS ON PAGE 13
