U. makes LinkedIn list for top career paths CARLEY ENS CORRESPONDENT

Penn State may have stolen a win from the Scarlet Knights in football, but according to LinkedIn’s new rankings, Rutgers may be the better option for media and marketing students.

On Oct. 1, LinkedIn came out with its rankings on the top universities to attend for various career paths. Out of 25 possible slots in each categor y, Rutgers ranked 22 for finance, 16 for marketers and 13 for media.

According to LinkedIn, the rankings were based on which schools led graduates to desirable career outcomes.

They defined desirable careers based on how well companies attract external employees and retain current ones.

To find correlations between people’s places of employment and the universities they attended, 300 million LinkedIn users from around the world were analyzed, according to LinkedIn’s of ficial blog.

LinkedIn analyzed individuals who graduated within the past eight years in order to reflect current employment trends, according to the blog.

The rankings were categorized by profession: finance, accounting, design, investment baking, marketing, media, software development and software development at star tups.

Penn State ranked 23 for designers, 17 for marketers and

23 for media professionals.

The University of Pennsylvania had the most finance and marketing professionals, according to LinkedIn. New York University was No. 1 in media professionals.

Rutgers’ high ranking in the media categor y did not surprise Claire McInerney, dean of the School of Communication and Information.

She attributed the success of the SC&I program to its dynamic faculty, media-savvy students and internship programs.

Many SC&I alumni are engaged with social media, McInerney said, as shown through the amount of graduates with LinkedIn profiles.

Students connect with alumni on sites like LinkedIn and Facebook, which enable them to view possible jobs they are interested in, she said.

Ashwani Monga, chair of the Depar tment of Marketing in the Rutgers Business School, said these rankings should prompt more students to create LinkedIn accounts so they can tr y to connect with highly successful people.

“It’s the beginning of a ver y vir tuous cycle,” Monga said.

Ivan Brick, chair of the Depar tment of Finance & Economics, said social networking sites like LinkedIn are crucial networking tools for students.

“Nowadays, most students do have LinkedIn accounts,” said SEE LIST ON PAGE 4

REGINA AUSTIN AND ANN SCHWARTZMAN

Regina Austin could not get a prisoner’s story heard because the Department of Corrections rejected her for possible security risk. This is one of the many adversities she faced as a documentarian.

Austin and Ann Schwartzman, executive director of the Pennsyl-

vania Prison Society, shared their difficulties coordinating prisons with the press yesterday at the “Marking Time: Prison Arts and Activism Conference,” hosted by the Rutgers Institute for Research on Women.

The conference, running until Oct. 10, features panels, keynote speeches and film screenings examining the American prison system through art. This art is created by inmates and artist volunteers that have witnessed prison life through their community work.

The panel “Laws, News and Arts” took place at Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum on the College Avenue campus.

Austin, director of the Penn Program on Documentaries & the Law in the University of Pennsylvania Law School, focuses on the legal use of documentaries. She is working on using video as a supplement to written records in clemency petitions for prisoners.

Experts reflect on anti-apartheid movement as international struggle CARLEY ENS CORRESPONDENT

Many people thought they would never live to see the day Nelson Mandela was released from prison in Februar y of 1990, said Edward Ramsamy, chair of the Africana Studies Department.

“The anti-apartheid movement was one of the most important movements of the 20th centur y,” Ramsamy said.

Two decades later, the Department of Africana Studies organized a retrospective examination of the anti-apartheid movement.

The symposium, “The Global Anti-Apartheid Movement and the Transition to Democratic Rule in South Africa: Reflections After Twenty Years,” took place yesterday in Alexander Librar y on the College Avenue campus.

Keynote speakers included Rev. M. William Howard, former chair of the Rutgers Board of Governors, and Enuga Reddy, former assistant secretar y general and director of the United Nations Center Against Apartheid.

Apartheid refers to a system of racial segregation in South Africa, and those who fought against it were a part of the anti-apartheid movement, a 50-year global struggle.

“One person in prison inspired millions of people around the world,” said Reddy, who himself was a key figure in the campaign calling for Mandela’s release.

The movement was an international and a generational struggle, said Abena Busia, chair of the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies.

As a child, Busia came to political consciousness the year of Mandela’s trial. She remembered asking her father questions, like what the word “boycott” meant.

The day of Mandela’s trial is “etched in her memor y” because of the 27-year buildup that followed in waiting for him to be released.

“I sat down and started thinking of those moments and thought I wanted to bear witness to my generation of what this 27 years has SEE MOVEMENT ON PAGE 5

“Targum” is an Aramaic term for “interpretation.”

The name for the University’s daily paper came to be after one of its founding members heard the term during a lecture by then-Rutgers President William H. Campbell. On Jan. 29, 1869, more than 140 years ago, the Targum, then a monthly publication, began to chronicle Rutgers history and has become a fixture in University tradition. The Targum began publishing daily in 1956 and gained independence from the University in 1980.

Tuesday’s article, “Prestigious U. professor dies from cancer,” should have stated that Carolyn Rovee-Collier studied at Brown College, which was an all-male undergraduate institution at the time.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Daniel Van Abs, associate research professor in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, explained New Jersey’s water infrastructure crisis yesterday on Cook campus. DAN COREY sues, but I guess my background on water infrastructure specifically in New Jersey is limited.”

David Ferring, a teaching assistant in the Department of Human Ecology and a graduate student, said he thought the seminar was a good way of broadening his knowledge base.

“I teach in the Department of Human Ecology, but as a geography student, I find it useful to explore what other people are doing within and beyond the department,” Ferring said. “I’m mainly here to learn,

but I’m also here to support the human ecology department.”

While Van Abs did provide information regarding the current conditions of New Jersey’s water infrastructure, he also addressed how to fix the problem.

“The things we build start degenerating the moment they are put into place,” Van Abs said. “That very moment starts the beginning of their death.”

For the sake of public safety and health, Van Abs said no argument could be made regarding this

problem. Because the entire system should have been updated to more modern technology a long time ago, and still has yet to be done, he said the subject couldn’t be avoided for much longer.

“Infrastructure doesn’t care who’s in charge, doesn’t care whose [political] party is in power and doesn’t care about the state of our economy…[it] just decays as it’s going to decay, and we need to set aside the partisan nature of our system and recognize that this is an issue we must deal with,” he said.

McInerney said with the new “SC&I Council,” executives in major companies advise faculty about the knowledge and skills students need before entering the workplace.

The long-standing, topnotch internship programs at Rutgers are “really wonder ful,” she said.

Students have the oppor tunity to intern with major television networks, star tups and large companies like Google, McInerney said.

One professor in the Depar tment of Finance & Economics places about 50 Rutgers students into positions on Wall Street each year, Brick said.

“I don’t think we would fare so well in our rankings without

this,” he said.

Monga said the rankings matter specifically because they are based on career outcomes.

The rankings are not simply about money spent, but big companies, prestige and what they can do for graduates, Monga said.

The Economist recently ranked Rutgers in the top 15 percent in the U.S. in return-on-investment, she said.

“If you look at that and compare it to the outcome of jobs, it gives you a perspective

Students at Rutgers are taking the initiative and are actively involved in their success, with the help of an encouraging and experienced faculty, she said.

The rankings will keep moving up and down but the number is not what matters, Monga said.

“Coming out on top is huge news for the University as a whole,” she said.

Videos were useful, Austin said, because they could help illiterate prisoners or prisoners who needed translation services get a fair chance to seek pardon. One such example was a man incarcerated as a juvenile since 1956.

The Department of Corrections turned down Austin’s proposal for “security and community sensitivity,” referring to the security ramifications caused by the presence of cameras in prison facilities.

“The goal is to show the liability of visual legal advocacy and to seek ways to increase its legitimacy,” she said.

Schwartzman has been working extensively in criminal justice for more than 20 years.

“We have turned from a system of individuals — where you see people, where you see faces — to numbers,” Schwartzman said.

Starting with a film documentary from 1989 showing the inside of a Pennsylvania prison, Schwartzman noted the culture influence and changes in mass incarceration over time.

The documentar y was filmed at the heyday of criminal justice, but it is no longer possible to have the same media presence in Pennsylvania.

More than two million people are incarcerated across the country, Schwartzman said.

The nearly $2 billion that Pennsylvania put into the state prison was mostly used to keep the facilities functioning. Arts and music programs were the first programs they cut back.

The inmates have brilliant art talent to offer, Schwartzman said.

“We need the system to open, not close … there is no other way for the public to see what is going on,” she said.

meant, because it has been our entire lives,” Busia said.

Ramsamy said the anti-apartheid movement was intimately connected to Rutgers.

Paul Robeson, the third black man to attend Rutgers, was an activist who tried to connect African-American struggles with international struggles.

She also formed the Council on African Affairs.

Writers and activists played a very important role in bringing the African struggle to an international level, Ramsamy said.

“A movement is spontaneous,” Howard said. “There are many, many thousands of people who were actively engaged in the struggle.”

The anti-apartheid movement “popped up” around the world because it was a such pivotal moment in human history.

When Howard was doing civil rights work in the 1980s, he came to Rutgers and was escorted to a room on the College Avenue campus.

“This was a decision I made, and I wanted to take responsibility,” he said.

The initial range for his sentence was 30 to 43 months, but once prosecutors obtained alleged statements against him from other accused individuals, which Krimes called hearsay, the accusations drastically increased and the potential sentence jumped from 10 years to life.

“They labeled me as a drug kingpin,” he said.

The judge recommended a close-to-home, low-security facility for Krimes, but he was instead sent to a medium-security facility in North Carolina, surrounded by violent gangs and mobs hundreds of miles from his Pennsylvania home.

“Apokaluptein” comes from the Greek roots for “apocalypse,” meaning, “to uncover or reveal.”

The assembly adopted the bill, but Kean, until long after the legislation, did not sign it. As a result, Howard and fellow activists organized an all-night vigil on the steps of the state capital.

“We stayed all night,” Howard said. “By morning, people started coming to work, and we were disappointed because our objective was to get arrested.”

Finally, around 8:30 a.m. one morning, a police officer approached Howard.

“I said, ‘Uh oh, it’s about to go down,’ he said.

Instead of arresting Howard, the officer said the governor wanted to see him.

Howard and the other protestors had a conversation with the governor. Later, on his way home from Trenton, he heard WCBS radio announce that Kean had agreed to sign the divestment bill.

All these student activists, like the ones at Rutgers on hunger strikes, got into some kind of academic or financial trouble.

“They took risks,” he said.

“Their entire college aspirations were thrown into jeopardy.”

Howard believes the virtue of these students’ strong advocacy caused New Jersey to be one of the first states to divest.

made him realize that many of the inmates were in the same situation as he was, which opened his eyes to the truth of the justice system.

He found himself wondering what he could do with that time to better himself down the road — writing was the answer to that question.

The prison workers would throw him books. One book of poetry that impacted Betts contained poems that explored the concept of survival, which made him realize art could be political.

In a super-maximum security prison, he had no idea how different prisons could be from one another. Betts also only recently learned how differently the public views the prison experience.

He said certain questions do not have to be answered as a community because there are certain issues that do not touch every member of the community equally.

“It is no way [to know] what it’s like to be in prison unless you are completely intimate … then you can make suggestions,” he said.

One of his cellmates had a 60-year sentence for attempted capital murder. He tried to contact the American Civil Liberties Union in 1996 about the man’s plight, but it only sent him back a form letter.

Those types of experiences made him go to law school because even writing poems was not sufficient to bring the attention of the public to the injustices of the prison system.

He read a poem to the audience based on the story of a man who created a recording device out of two Walkman devices. The man turned the play button into a record button and the headphones into a microphone.

He related the stor y to the necessity for creativity in the discussion about the incarceration system.

“It made me excited about the possibilities,” he said.

First American Ebola patient dies in Dallas hospital

DALLAS - The first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States died yesterday, and the government ordered five airports screen passengers from West Africa for fever, underscoring concerns about U.S. treatment and preparedness for the virus.

The administration of President Barack Obama has been under pressure from lawmakers to enhance screening and even ban flights after Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan flew to Dallas, Texas, in late September after having contact with a woman who later died of Ebola. Duncan died on yesterday morning in an isolation ward of a Dallas hospital.

The White House said extra screening for fever will be carried out for arriving passengers from West Africa, where the virus has killed nearly 4,000 people in three countries. The screening will start at New York’s John F. Kennedy airport from the weekend, and later at Newark Liberty, Washington Dulles, Chicago O’Hare and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Thomas Frieden told a news conference that authorities are “stepping up protection and we’ll evaluate the measures.”

Authorities will use a non-invasive device to take the temperature of passengers and have them fill out a questionnaire created by the CDC asking for detailed information about their activities.

Duncan had been in critical condition and on a ventilator in an isolation ward at Texas Health Presbyterian in Dallas. He was also given an experimental medication to tr y to keep him alive.

Questions have been raised on what impact a decision by the hospital to initially discharge Duncan had on his treatment. In animal tests of experimental Ebola drugs, the chance of survival drops the longer it takes to begin treatment.

“You can have the best drug in the world and there is a point where that drug just won’t work,” said virologist Thomas Geisbert of the University of Texas Medical Branch, who has done pioneering work on Ebola treatments.

“There is a point where the virus has done so much damage you can’t recover from it,” Geisbert said.

Duncan was able to fly to the United States from Liberia‘s capital Monrovia because he did not have a fever when screened at the airport and filled out a questionnaire saying he had not been in contact with anyone infected with Ebola. Liberian officials have said Duncan lied on the questionnaire and had been in contact with a pregnant woman who later died.

Duncan’s fiancée, Louise Troh, who is being quarantined, wrote in a statement: “I trust a thorough examination will take place regarding all aspects of his care. I am now dealing with the sorrow and anger that his son was not able to see him before he died.”

Texas Health Presbyterian spokesman Wendell Watson said in an emailed statement that Duncan died at 7:51 a.m. The hospital said he was 45 years old.

About 48 people who had direct or indirect contact with Duncan since he arrived on Sept. 20 are being monitored, but none have yet shown any symptoms, according to health officials.

The CDC and other U.S. health officials say the chances of Ebola

spreading in the United States are very slim.

Texas Health Presbyterian hospital said a man had been admitted after reporting he had contact with Duncan and was exhibiting symptoms. The CDC’s Frieden described the person as someone who “does not have definite contact with Ebola or definite symptoms of Ebola.”

The hospital has not released details on how it will handle Duncan’s body but said it will follow protocols from the CDC. The guidelines recommend careful preparation of the body before movement, including enclosing it in two bags and disinfecting the bags. The body can then be transported without the need for protective gear for a driver or others who are near the body but they are not to handle the remains before cremation.

The current Ebola outbreak, the worst on record, began in March. Yesterday, the World Health Organization updated its toll of the disease. WHO said Ebola has killed 3,879 people out of 8,033 cases by the end of Oct. 5.

Ebola can take as long as three weeks before its victims show symptoms, at which point the disease becomes contagious. Ebola, which can cause fever, vomiting and diarrhea, spreads through contact with bodily fluids such as blood or saliva.

While several American patients have been flown to the United States from West Africa for treatment, Duncan was the first person to start showing symptoms on U.S. soil. A nurse in Spain who treated a priest who worked in West Africa is also infected.

Student stages creative comeback for her senior year at U. BRENDA STOLYAR FEATURES EDITOR

In a large school like Rutgers, students have encountered an endless amount of people without actually getting the chance to dig past the basic and trivial facts.

Each person has a side of himself or herself that tends to shy away from the spotlight, a talent or even passion they hide.

Haley Temin, a Mason Gross School of the Ar ts senior, is a prime example of how sometimes, one’s ar tistic side can become buried and lost when making the busy college transition.

As a child, Temin gravitated toward coloring books and anything that had to do with creativity. Although she continued to develop her artistic abilities throughout high school, she took a break once coming to Rutgers.

She figured a focus in public relations would encourage and enhance her artistic ability. However, she still felt as though a part of her artistic talent wasn’t being completely fulfilled.

In between, Temin became her sororities’ banner chair, where she was in charge of helping with all the creative projects. It was then that Temin made the decision to apply to Mason Gross and was accepted during spring break of her junior year.

“I almost passed out when I got accepted. The rush of excitement that came over me — I was like, wow, senior year is set now,” Temin expressed.

Temin’s favorite pieces to do are paintings because that’s where she feels her passion stems from

“Art will follow you wherever you go, it clearly followed me, and is the one consistent thing in my life.”

the most. She especially loves portraits, due to the fact that they’re tangible and because they’re pieces people can own forever.

Although Temin did attend the occasional art class, she managed to teach herself all the different techniques that apply to her creative process.

When it comes to her artistic process, Temin admits she’s a perfectionist. Some of her paintings have taken up to 35 hours, and she typically works in three to four hour intervals.

“I find I work better under pressure,” Temin said. “There’s nothing better than picking up

that paint brush and going with the flow of the music. Hours could pass by, and I won’t even know.

That’s the one thing I can hyper-focus on: painting and drawing.”

A future project Temin is planning highlights her interest in painting the human eye. She wants to create a collection of different eyes pertaining to culture and race, as well as animal eyes.

When asked what her signature style was in terms of her work, Temin said it’s something that’s still developing. She described her paintings as always bright, crisp and well thought out, and she hopes people can really feel the amount of emotion that goes into it.

For students who are feeling nervous about incorporating art into their academics in fear of losing that motivation and spark, Temin explained that what saved her was not starting her first year of college as an art major.

“Art was one thing I was good at. I waited the perfect amount of time to learn now what I would’ve taken completely for granted as a freshman,” Temin said. “Art will follow you wherever you go.

Clearly, it followed me and is [now] the one consistent thing in my life.”

Skin color can signify more than just race THREE LAYERS DEEP YVANNA SAINT-FORT Note: Austin’s name has been changed to protect his identity.

I

know you’re my birth mom.” These are the six words I’ve heard almost every other weekend for the past few years. I started babysitting Austin when he was 4 years old. He is adopted and bi-racial, half black and half white. The only things Austin knows about his birth parents are that his father was white, his mother was black and that they were both teenagers when they had him. Austin’s adoptive parents are white and Jewish. They are both of a thin build and average height. When he was younger, Austin would always tell me, “Well, since you’re bigger than my mom, and you have skin like mine, I know you’re my birth mom.”

At first I tried to tell him that he was wrong, that I was too young to have kids because I still lived with my own mom and dad, and that “people with any kind of body can have kids.”

But at 4 years old, Austin knew, just as I did, that these factors could be easily explained away. Austin would tell me that my being his mother is something he would keep a secret and that he wouldn’t tell his parents he knew who I really was. Austin’s parent’s thought his comments were “weird” but wrote them off as wishful thinking, and I did the same.

Now that Austin is 6 years old going on seven, there is more logic to his wishful thinking.

In his mind, he sees a couple of basic facts just as he did when he was four — only now, he can articulate them in a way he previously couldn’t. According to Austin, his birth mom had brown skin, and I have brown skin. His

birth mom was a teenager when she had him, and I was a teenager when I started babysitting for him — so to Austin, who else would I be other than his birth mother?

It doesn’t matter that almost every story on his bookshelf is completely related to every part of who he is. There are stories about adopted children and stories about the history of slavery or civil rights leaders, there are stories about Jewish holidays and books about families of mixed races and backgrounds.

Austin also has a close group of friends, many of whom are bi-racial or adopted just like him. They’re all growing up together in an accepting and diverse suburb in New Jersey, and while all of that makes sense to Austin,

“Society may be leaning more toward tolerance in terms of bi-racial or adopted children, but the way each family deals with issues of race within their home is unique.” it doesn’t change what he can see with his 6-year-old eyes.

Austin understands there is nothing wrong with having parents who don’t look like him. He loves his parents and knows how to express that. But he still thinks it would be “better” if I were his mom — and his only reason is, “It just would — You’re brown, and I’m brown.”

Mixed-race families and adopted children are phenomena that certain people are able to understand. But to some children and to some adults, skin color can be a signifier of something much more important than race.

Over the past few weeks, a story similar to Austin’s has been playing out in the media. A lesbian couple from Ohio, Jennifer Cramblett

and her partner, used a sperm bank to have a child. To simplify an incredibly longwinded and multi-faceted story, the couple requested a sperm sample from a donor who was white, but instead received a sample from a donor who was black. Their bi-racial daughter, Payton, is now 2 years old and the couple is suing the sperm bank for breech of warranty, wrongful birth and emotional distress.

Cramblett and her partner are dealing with a situation similar to Austin’s. The couple has a child who doesn’t look like them, and that decision was not one they made on their own — just like Austin did not choose to be raised by parents who don’t look like him. In modern times, children are adopted from all over the world, the number of bi-racial individuals seems to be rising and mixed-race families can be considered commonplace. But be that as it may, for some, skin color may signify an important component to being a family. On the surface, it might seem trivial to incorporate skin color when considering membership to a family, but when it comes to identifying with the same cultural practices or mannerisms, it might not be that simple for everyone. Like Austin, when Payton grows up, she is probably going to have questions about her race and self-identity. She will have to deal with the new stories and the lawsuit surrounding her birth, just like Austin will have to deal with the fact that even though I have brown skin, I am not his mother. Society as a whole may be more leaning toward tolerance in terms of bi-racial or adopted children, but the way each family deals with and addresses issues of race within their home is unique and unpredictable.

Gary Nova finally delivers in spotlight STUMPER’S SPORTS JAMES STUMPER

W

hen Rutgers joined the Big Ten back in July, we dreamed of the moment we would break through and make an impact.

On Saturday night, as the student section poured out onto the High Point Solutions Stadium turf to embrace their Scarlet Knights, that moment had officially arrived.

It was a remarkable spectacle, as Rutgers knocked off the Michigan Wolverines 26-24 in front of a raucous “blackout” crowd. The key cog in their first-ever Big Ten victory was also one of their most scrutinized: senior quarterback Gary Nova.

Nova dazzled under the lights in primetime against the Wolverines, putting up a career-high 404 passing yards and tossing for three touchdowns, helping the Scarlet Knights earn their first Big Ten victory in just their second attempt. The efficiency and ease with which Nova threw on Saturday had many wondering: Who was this guy?

The Don Bosco product of Elmwood Park, New Jersey, has had his good moments on the banks. He went toe-to-toe with now-NFL quarterback Derek Carr in last season’s shootout of a season opener and racked up some incredible stats. He also defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks back-to-back years as a sophomore and last season as a junior.

Unfortunately for Nova, though, the bad has always seemed to outshine the good.

Who could forget the blown opportuni-

ty against Louisville at the end of 2012, when Rutgers had a chance to make their first-ever Bowl Championship Series appearance, followed by an abysmal effort in the Russell Athletic Bowl against the Virginia Tech Hokies?

And of course, earlier this season, Nova threw five interceptions and no touchdowns in Rutgers’ first-ever Big Ten conference game, a 13-10 loss against Penn State.

Almost every time Nova and the Scarlet Knights had a chance to break through on the big stage during his career, they fell flat on their face.

That is, until this past Saturday.

Nova passed his test against Michigan with flying colors and did an excellent job to redeem himself after a poor effort in the team’s Big Ten debut. Nova was calm, precise and, most importantly, he protected the football as he led an air strike that went for more than 400 yards against one of the nation’s top defenses.

Nobody needed that stellar performance more than Nova did after all his struggles and inconsistency under center as a Scarlet Knight.

“It’s great. It’s something you remember forever,” said Nova postgame. “That’s the reason you play college football — for moments like that. It feels good because I played well and everybody played well around me.

To get this done for Coach Flood and for my team is great.”

Nova was proud of himself after the victory and deservedly so. Nobody involved with the Rutgers football program has received more criticism than he has since arriving in Piscataway. Most of that criticism has been warranted, but to see him put that out of his mind for one night and play to his full potential for

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Debunk problematic stereotypes of sexual assault on campus On behalf of the School of Social Work’s Center on Violence Against Women and Children, I am writing in response to the Targum ar ticle from Sept. 29th, “Rutgers urges students to take sexual assault sur vey.” Although I commend the Targum for covering this issue and making students aware of the iSPEAK project, I am deeply concerned by the cover image used for this ar ticle. Echoing the point that Kaila Boulware made in her Oct. 2 letter to the editor entitled, “Photo representations send strong messages about sexual assault,” the vast majority (somewhere between 85 and 92 percent) of sexual assaults are perpetrated by someone familiar to the victim. However, the image accompanying the Targum ar ticle suggests other wise.

This representation, implying that sexual assault is committed by hooded stalkers, perpetuates one of the largest misconceptions about sexual assault: the “stranger rape” myth. The “stranger rape” myth is par ticularly damaging among the Targum’s readership

“In order to actually inform people about the reality of sexual assault and fight rates on college campuses, it is vital that we start within our Rutgers community.”

an entire 60-minute stretch was a refreshing sight to see.

That potential quickly turned into accolades for Nova, as his performance won him Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, which is unbelievable if you give it any thought. This is a conference loaded with NFL-level talent: Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon, Michigan State’s Connor Cook and Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah could all likely play on Sundays in the near future, and Gary Nova, Rutgers quarterback, was named the best out of the whole crew. Sure, it’s only for a week, but it’s an incredible accomplishment for a player who was benched for the final three games of last season and had to re-earn his starting spot in training camp.

The road will only get more difficult for Nova and the entire team, but right now they currently sit at five wins, tied for most in the Big Ten with Nebraska. The Knights need just one more victory to clinch Bowl eligibility, which is remarkable given the consensus coming into the season that Rutgers would struggle to find even three or four wins in their entire schedule.

Who knows where the Gary Nova roller coaster ride will go next? No one does. However, he has finally shown Rutgers fans and the college football world what he can do if he plays a full 60 minutes, and the results were sparkling. If Nova can bottle up that moment from Saturday night against Michigan and show some more of that consistency throughout the rest of the season, the Scarlet Knights will surprise a few more people.

because college women are at greater risk of sexual assault than women in the general population or in a comparable age group. Thus, it is of the utmost impor tance we do not continue to distribute imager y or messages that may misinform people about the nature of college sexual assault.

In order to actually inform people of the reality of sexual assault and fight rates on college campuses, it is vital we star t within our Rutgers-New Brunswick community. We can all make an impor tant contribution by par ticipating in the iSPEAK project, piloted by the Center on Violence Against Women and Children. A major component of this project involves a Campus Climate Sur vey commissioned by the White House. The broad intentions of this project are to use the knowledge gained to better understand how sexual assault is perceived among college students, determine ways to strengthen current prevention and inter vention ef for ts on college campuses and to demystify stereotypes. So please join me when iSPEAK goes live from Oct. 27 through Nov. 9. Be sure to take the brief sur vey and share why you speak by using “#iSPEAK” on social media. Ever y voice makes a dif ference, so let’s work together to end campus sexual violence.

Inacio’s doctors elected to scrap rehab process, junior season for surgery on foot

Third-team, fourth-team members see more action in practice as starters lift CONTINUED FROM BACK

CONTINUED FROM BACK or anything,” Inacio said.

At first, doctors couldn’t pinpoint an accurate diagnosis. Inacio received treatment for what was believed to be an infection but two months later was diagnosed with a broken sesamoid.

There are two sesamoids located under the base of the big toe.

Both small bones provide leverage for movement in the ball of the foot, something clearly critical not just for an athlete to cut and run, but for any person to do something as simple as walking.

Inacio wore a walking boot on her foot for six months in an effort to rehab the injury rather than go through a rare surgery. But when the recovery yielded no progress, doctors elected to scrap her junior season and go the route of surgery. “[The surgeons] went in and took out that bone [and] repaired the tendon … it was about a six- or seven-month recovery after that,” Inacio said. “So, yeah, it was a pretty long time.”

During that recovery process, Leigh and Inacio grew closer. They endured the gruesome recovery processes that kept them off the soccer field together.

“It was hard for me because it was at the end of the semester, so I had to deal with surgery and getting to classes and finishing finals before I could really focus on myself,” Leigh said. “But it’s pretty painful the first couple of weeks. …

I couldn’t straighten my leg.”

For Inacio, her steep hill back to recovery was much of the same.

“My recovery was really long. … It was kind of like a grueling process,” Inacio said. “But I mean, everyday, having my teammates and coaches tell me they believed I would come back strong and watching them work hard everyday and see that. … I just couldn’t wait to be back.”

As both players worked to recover from their respective injuries, they leaned on each other for support.

“When I was going through a bad day or Cassie was going through a bad day, we were able to talk to each other, and we were able to kind of hangout at practice because we weren’t allowed to play,” Leigh said. “… You’re very happy for the person next to you, especially when

Most importantly, both have you know they’ve gone through been integral voices as leaders of something you have, too.”

Inacio, who played alongside a No. 20 Rutgers team and aided Leigh on the same summer team a seamless transition under firstleading up to the season as the year head coach Mike O’Neill. The two got back into the motions of Knights boast a 9-1-1 overall record maneuvering on the soccer field, and a 5-1-1 mark in Big Ten play.

“It’s been OK. Obviously, you have your nicks and bruises here and there,” Pinnix-Odrick said. “I’m trying to get through it. I’ve never played a college season, so now I’m starting to actually realize what it takes physically, mentally, academically. I’m definitely looking to guys, especially other guys on the d-line who are fighting through certain things ... and [I’m] watching how they prepare themselves. I’m definitely trying to come along in that aspect.”

A traditional Rutgers bye week regime remains, with the third- and fourth-team units getting most of the on-field work while the firstand second-teamers lift later in practice. It is a critical time to build depth while reaffirming fundamentals before the bulk of Ohio State game planning comes into play next week.

But aside from physically recuperating, the Knights are mentally gathering themselves with realization that it only gets tougher from here on out.

After playing four of its first six games at home, Rutgers plays its next two games at ranked Big Ten opponents. Another historic road test at No. 8 Michigan State lingers further down the line.

So while satisfied with early results, the Knights are hardly feeling at ease.

“After watching the film of our last game against Michigan, we

made a lot of mistakes,” said senior linebacker Kevin Snyder. “We gave them a lot more than we believe they should’ve had. Overall, our defensive performance wasn’t where it needed to be, which is encouraging. We played OK football, but it could’ve been much cleaner, much better football. ... It’s details when it comes to playing great defense, and we’re getting better with the details, but we’re not there yet.”

He has a point, given Rutgers still ranks in the bottom half of the conference in all of the major defensive categories.

But for the Knights, that’s the scary part. They still haven’t played to their potential, and after already proving countless critics wrong early in the season, the allure of a Big Ten East Division crown continues to fuel them.

“Coach Rossi emphasizes that good teams get better as the season goes on, so right now we just have to work on playing with cohesion,” Pinnix-Odrick said. “I think a lot of guys are stepping up and wanting to get better at their position and realizing what we can be. We had spurts of greatness and we had times where the silliest mistakes got us scored on. We want more of that greatness part in trying to do things that haven’t been done before here.”

UPSIDE

TENNIS

Turay edited his long-arm technique, including dip in shoulder to beat offense CONTINUED FROM BACK coaching staff encourages and works on.

“When I was in high school I started with the long-arm technique. That was really the only move I knew,” Turay said. “So then it became a habit. Other than that, my coach wanted me to use another move, so I kind of did [the dip] out of nowhere. Then they were like, ‘That’s a good move, you should use that bendy move.’ So I started using that combination constantly, and I was naturally good at it.”

All Milewski can do is observe in awe sometimes, saying that what Turay does, no one can do.

If he were to try and emulate the technique, he admits he would cross up his legs and fall to the ground.

“In terms of just his ability, I’ve never seen anybody who can bend and pass rush at the same time as well as he can,” Milewski said. “You watch him in one-onone pass rushing drills, and you know you can’t do those moves.”

To add more wrinkles to his skillset, Turay has upwards of a 36-40 inch vertical leap to his own admission. As a track and field athlete in high school, he was a state champion in the triple jump and the long jump.

Senior nose tackle Kenneth Kirksey said that while he and

Senior nose tackle Kenneth Kirksey said it is impossible to compete with Turay because of his athleticism and talent.

Turay play different positions, he understands how much of a key weapon Turay is in the pass rush.

Kirksey also notes how much of an athlete Turay really is.

“I don’t think you can compete with Kemoko Turay. I mean once he go, he go,” Kirksey said.

“But I think he worked really hard to get where he is at right now, he busted his behind in the offseason. Oh, of course he is a freak of nature. He could probably jump to the moon if he wanted to.”

But for as valuable as Turay has proven this season, and with the success he has enjoyed, there still is more to come.

Milewski said Turay’s ceiling is so high, and the best is

still to come for the player who is only in his third year of organized football.

“Coach Panagos has to coach him a little differently than everybody else because his toolbox is a little bit bigger,” Milewski said.

“It’s awesome and he’s a great weapon to have, but we’re just trying to keep him focused and making sure that he continues to get better. He needs to understand that his potential is still so much higher than where he is at right now. … That’s the most exciting thing about Kemoko — his future is very bright.”

Specialists’ abilities benefit defense CONOR NORDLAND STAFF WRITER

In volleyball, there is always one position on the team that is leaned on more than others.

Some teams focus on net play with tall, strong blockers. Others utilize athletic hitters to generate offense.

But the Rutgers volleyball team utilizes another position, one that is uncommon to most teams: a defensive specialist that serves in the role of libero.

The defensive specialist controls the team’s defense and formation. They are in the middle of ever y play and must know where to be at all times. A libero is usually a defensive specialist who can be substituted freely without using any of the team’s allotted subs.

The Scarlet Knights utilize this strategy with two talented, experienced defensive specialists on the team in juniors Ali Schroeter and Ronnie Komisarek. Their defensive presence on the court has been key for the Knights so far this season.

“It’s invaluable, especially in this conference,” said head coach CJ Werneke. “Defense really matters — it’s one of our core foundations along with serving and passing, and they have their hand in all three of those aspects. Having both options allows them to push each other.

It’s nice to have two liberos on the court at the same time in many occasions.”

Schroeter and Komisarek have set the tone for defense since the start of the year. Schroeter averages 4.50 digs per set, which is good for first on the team and fifth in the Big Ten. Komisarek is third on the team in digs with 2.17 per set.

While both are tops on the team defensively, the two liberos possess a trait not seen by statistics: versatility.

Schroeter and Komisarek frequently move around the court in attempts to match up and counter what their opponent is doing.

Their ability to play in multiple positions is something Werneke readily utilizes during games. “[Having] both players who can play all three back row positions and give us options to move around from play to play is a tool we will use more and more as we get into conference play,” Werneke said.

While their versatility has been invaluable, Schroeter and Komisarek’s relationship goes beyond their play in games.

Both stated how well they play together on the court and how close they are off the court.

Their relationship will go a long way in determining the success of the Knights in conference play going forward.

“We came here in the same year,” Schroeter said. “So we were able to really get to know each other and our different style of play. [We have] been playing together for three years, so we mesh really well when we play.”

For many athletes, having someone playing the same position and competing for playing time would cause tension or even a rift in a relationship.

But Schroeter and Komisarek have never been close to having an issue.

“I know most girls at the same position have the tendency to go at it with one another and it can be awkward at times, but I think [Ali and I] have a good relationship because we are friends and try to help each other rather than compete against one another,” Komisarek said.

Playing together for three years has allowed both players to develop a strong chemistr y.

The process of moving the ball and executing the offense starts with the defense, and with no defense, the Knights’ foundation would crumble.

As the season moves forward, their talents and chemistry will continue to get tested by each Big Ten team they play. How Schroeter and Komisarek handle this test will be a deciding factor in not only this year’s success, but for seasons to come.

“I think, this year, they will learn a lot about this league and the skill set that goes along with it,” Werneke said. “And we’re really looking forward to them adjusting to it and blossoming into next year.”

The Rutgers women’s golf team competed Oct. 6 and 7 at the historic Saint Andrew’s Golf Club in the St. John’s Invitational.

The Scarlet Knights battled through 17 mile-per-hour winds — with gusts reaching 20 to 30 mph first day — and posted fair numbers.

But Rutgers was greeted with significantly better weather conditions the second day on America’s oldest golf course and carried a chip on its shoulder to finish the St. John’s Invitational in second place among 12 teams with a 629 final scorecard.

“We fought back today to earn that second-place finish,” firstyear head coach Kari Williams said of Rutgers’ performance.

“The conditions improved [Tuesday], but they improved for everyone in the field, which makes it that much more difficult to make up strokes. I am proud of all six players. We played a very difficult golf course in tough conditions and they just kept competing.”

Despite falling short to Seton Hall in the tournament by 15 strokes due in part to the performance of Cassie Pantelas, who shot a tournament-best 143, all five Knights improved upon their first-day scores.

Junior Gabrielle Sacheli led Rutgers’ charge, scoring a teambest 74 in round two after an 81 in round one to finish sixth in the 68-player field.

Sophomore Taylor Clark and junior Racquel Zurick also

finished 8th and 9th, respectively.

The strong performances from freshmen Tatum Jackson and Emily Mills were also highlights of the tournament — both shot nine and 12 strokes better in round two, respectively.

Williams recognized her team’s exceptional effort.

“Gabrielle, Racquel, Tatum and Taylor posted good scores for us today and that got us out of the hole we dug yesterday,” Williams said.

In the first day of competition, Rutgers labored through the inclement weather and finished the day in fourth out of 12 schools with a 325 score, trailing Long Island (310), Seton Hall (311) and Siena (324).

Zurick led the Knights in round one, tying for 13th with a 79 on a par 71 with two birdies.

Clark followed closely behind with an equally impressive 80 and 10 par.

Having battled through difficult weather conditions and managing to improve upon its first round showing, Williams is optimistic looking ahead.

“We play our own invitational on Friday and Saturday. Our expectation is to defend our home turf and compete for the win.

Both the medalist and team title,” Williams said. “We will have to play two solid rounds and I would really like to hand out a bunch of hardware to Scarlet Knights on Saturday afternoon.”

All things considered — an emotional first Big Ten win, lengthy injury reports and a tough road stretch looming — the Rutgers football team’s first bye week comes at a particularly opportune time.

It was a whirlwind six-week grind — one the program hasn’t been through since 1998, when it last had its first weekend off after six games. The stretch included stints against an Air Raid offense, two run-heavy attacks, an AAC school and two historic Big Ten programs.

But thanks to late heroics Saturday night against Michigan, the Scarlet Knights came away in an ideal position: a 5-1 record and almost two weeks to prepare for No. 15 Ohio State, which hosts Rutgers on Oct. 18.

“We knew going into the season that this was going to be a long stretch. We’ve never had a bye week this late,” said senior defensive lineman David Milewski. “But looking back on it, having the bye now and having the opportunity to rest, it comes at a good time. We’ve had some injury issues and things like that, so it’s a great opportunity for us to get healthy and go into playing Ohio State full-go.”

Milewski would know, having been through three ACL surgeries in his Rutgers career.

Sophomore defensive end Julian Pinnix-Odrick also felt some of the effects of six straight game weeks. The Montclair, New Jersey, native is playing for the first time at Rutgers after redshirting as a true freshman before missing all last season with his own ACL surgery.

When redshirt freshman defensive end Kemoko Turay started playing football during his senior year at Barringer (New Jersey) High School, he didn’t really know much about the sport. After all, he was a track and field star, along with being a basketball player.

But he learned quickly, compiling unfathomable stats that earned him the nickname “The Dragon” because of the mystery that surrounded him.

Turay ended his only football season ever played up until that point with 19 sacks — which led New Jersey — 105 tackles and 28 tackles for loss.

His stats and skill set were good enough to get noticed by coaches at the Rutgers football camp — they were the only team to actually extend an offer for Turay to join the team.

What shocks spectators now is his athleticism and ability to get to the quarterback, something he is doing rapidly. Turay leads the nation with three blocked kicks and leads the Big Ten with 5.5 sacks.

As far as his pass-rushing ability is concerned, it comes from a unique pass-rushing technique that seemingly only Turay can pull off, said senior defensive lineman Dave Milewski.

The first thing Turay does is extend his arm to get separation from an offensive lineman. When Turay knocks his opponent off course, he dips his shoulder low to rip past the slower offensive lineman and gets nearly perpendicular to the ground.

It’s the first move that Turay learned, he said, and it’s something the Scarlet Knights’

When Tori Leigh heard the pop, she knew.

It was a sound she had heard before and a pain she had felt before. As she lay on the practice field grass in agony, the Rutgers women’s soccer team backer knew she had torn her left anterior cruciate ligament.

An MRI later confirmed the injury to the ligament that centrally connects the femur to the tibia.

With the injury occurring in the spring semester of her junior year, Leigh’s senior season was over before it even had the chance to start.

But having gone through the recovery process after tearing her right ACL in high school, Leigh knew what it was going to take to come back after redshirting — and she was determined to make sure she returned to the field even stronger than ever before.

“There was no doubt in my mind,” Leigh said. “I wanted to come back, and I wanted to

BY THE NUMBERS

How has the Rutgers football team fared when coming off a bye week recently?

In their first two seasons under head coach Kyle Flood, the Scarlet Knights were 3-2 following a weekend off.

Rutgers lost by 35 points each in its second and third bye weeks last season. The Knights will face a difficult road test at No. 15 Ohio State on Oct. 18 after their first bye week.

play in my senior year. … It was bittersweet because, yeah, it was difficult. I had to go through surgery, I had to go through rehab, I had to sit out a whole year, but at the end of the day, I got to be able to play in the Big Ten and I was able to have the opportunities I wouldn’t have had.”

As her team went on to post a 13-4-5 record and an NCAA Tournament berth, Leigh watched from the sidelines — but she wasn’t alone.

After seeing action in the first three games of the 2013 campaign, Cassie Inacio was ruled out for the remainder of the season.

In her first year serving as one of three co-captains, the midfielder was forced to sit out due to a rare foot injury that lingered since the end of her sophomore season, a year in which she started 19 out of 22 games.
