Student groups launch ‘Where RU Barchi’ club KATIE PARK CORRESPONDENT
Luma Hasan said after the Condoleezza Rice protests last May, the administration treated her “like a child” and gave the protestors a “dismissive” attitude. But student and faculty relations have still been slow to develop, and several student groups have formed a coalition to demand greater communication from Rutgers President Rober t L. Barchi.
Barchi’s lack of responsiveness halted the agendas of several student activist groups on campus, including Rutgers’ chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said Suraj Patel, a member of the organization. It was the same for Kaila Boulware, a member of Women Organizing Against Harassment, whose group advocates for adding a more thorough sexual conviction vetting process when hiring prospective faculty and staff.

One attempted cheater at Rutgers took a bathroom break during an exam. Thanks to the phone in his pocket, he promptly looked up the answers on Sakai. His only mistake? He did not realize the teaching assistants could see him logging in. Many students are accustomed to the sight of an exam room — identification checked at the door, seats assigned and scattered across the room, exams of varying colors to indicate various question sets — all methods to keep test-takers’ eyes on their own paper. But as more classes and exams move online and students gain in-
creased access to technology with smartphones and other devices, the question arises: How can professors prevent cheating in the modern era? Melissa Backus, assistant director of Academic Integrity, said most reported students that come through her door claim to have practiced poor time management or had an emergency that prompted them to cheat. “The majority of students do come clean, and a lot of students tell us they were stressed and had no other option,” she said. She said plagiarism and cheating compose 90 percent of academic integrity incidents. Violations like academic sabotage, stealing or fabrication of research form the other 10 percent.
Each academic department can create their own policies concerning exam formats and other ways to prevent cheating. But Backus’ office does create guidelines for professors to consider. It recommends putting the academic integrity policy on the syllabus and on assignments, and using Turnitin — their plagiarism recognition software — to detect copied work. It has yet to create recommendations for problems like students’ cheating on online exams by taking them with friends or using online resources. “That kind of thing is a little harder to detect. The faculty might suspect it when answers are similar … or when SEE CHEATING ON PAGE 4
RU Ally Week kicks off with talk on social justice issues ERIN PETENKO ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
In Alex Ngo’s social justice class, professors had students do a “privilege walk,” where students would stand in line based on their advantages and disadvantages. Ngo ended up at the back of the room. Ngo and Suey Park discussed the complexity of social justice movements on college campuses last night at the Livingston Student Center. Their talk was the opening event for RU Ally Week, an array of events centered on social justice advocacy. Zaneta Rago, acting director for the Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities, said the week was aimed at students looking for ways to start a dialogue about social justice affairs. “It will help to deepen their understanding of the experiences of others,” she said. They chose both speakers for their experience with social me-
dia, she said. Park is well known for co-creating the #NotYourAsianSidekick hashtag and other hashtag campaigns, while Ngo is an activist and writer who chaired the Coalition for Queer People of Color at University of Michigan. Ngo said at the University of Michigan, he encountered many “rich, white” students. Most of the discussions centered on how guilty the privileged people felt, and he would be expected to share his marginalized experiences with others, despite his reluctance. While professors had male students talk about the heavy expectations they faced, Ngo thought of how he had been bullied for wanting to par ticipate in less masculine activities. To help prevent these kinds of injustices, his friends would text each other and ask one another to attend classes they were SEE ALLY ON PAGE 4

“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.

U. holds ‘Idea-thon’ for innovative health care proposals

If Kate Connolly’s team wins the “Idea-thon,” she said she and her teammates would spend the $5,000 prize on cadaver eyes to use as experiment materials for the device they are developing to detect glaucoma in its early stages. “Idea-thon,” the first of three parts in the “The Nicholson Foundation & Rutgers Healthcare Delivery Innovation Competition,” began yesterday at Trayes Hall in the Douglass Student Center. The “Idea-thon” aims to inspire, collect and select the best proposals that address local and global health care issues, according to Health 2.0’s website. Graeme Ossey, senior program manager at Health 2.0, a conference that has been the leading showcase for health care technology, said of all the aspects that health care entails, “Ideathon” generally focuses on making health care more accessible and affordable to people who are economically, socially and environmentally vulnerable. Denise Rodgers, vice chancellor for interprofessional programs in Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, said a poor understanding of what contributes to good health costs the U.S. health care system between $50 and $73 billion annually.

The organizers will grant $50,000 to the winning team of “Challenge” so they can implement their solutions on a yearlong basis. Some participants came to the conference with innovative ideas in mind. Pengfei Xie, a graduate student at Rutgers, has started a program focusing on bio-sensing. “Our goal is to make a portable health care device that keeps track of your physical data by yourself, instead of going to the hospital,” he said. Connolly, Héctor Maldonado and Kelsey Stecklow, School of Engineering seniors, are developing a device for the early detection of glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness in the world. “We hope to identify high-risk people as early as possible,” Connolly said. “It is treatable in an early stage, but [currently] by the time people realize it, they already lose their vision permanently.”

CHEATING Landon-Lane says students can now purchase assignments online from special services CONTINUED FROM FRONT
they’re submitted within minutes. But in general, faculty haven’t had enough to report,” she said. Sometimes faculty or proctors catch students in unusual ways. Matt Matsuda, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences Honors Program, said via email he once had a student buy his paper from an online service. “He sent it to me electronically, but he also mistakenly sent me the bill and complete invoice he paid to buy the paper! That did not go well,” he said in the email. John Landon-Lane, the director of undergraduate studies in the Department of Economics, said students are often unaware of how well he can see what they are doing during an exam. Since he typically sits on a stage in front of the room, he notices any “wandering eyes” and tries to stop cheating before it happens. Landon-Lane admits he is concerned about how to prevent cheating in online courses. Students previously cheated by copying other people’s papers, which meant he could tell if the tone and information used in the paper was in line with the course. Now, students can purchase assignments online from special services that use the person’s information and write papers that are average, but not necessarily good. “The people who write these papers will get them a B for the course, something adequate, but not great,” he said. Concerns like these have prompted the department to rely on in-person final exams for a large portion of students’ grades. They also refuse to accept transfer credits from online courses unless at least 50 percent of the grade was determined by an in-person final exam. As to the possibility of online exams, the biggest issue was ensuring students were following the rules and not relying on outside help.
Services like ProctorU can provide online exam proctoring. According to their website, the student connects with a proctor through a webcam and shares the screen they take the exam in. Landon-Lane said these services were expensive, although they may someday use them and transfer the cost to students taking the course. His solution to many of these issues is to make his exams more about comprehension than recall. “I’ve stopped asking questions that ask them to regurgitate formulas,” he said. “It’s hard to Google, ‘When should I use this formula?’” In other classes, he has used common sense to catch cheaters. One student turned in his friend’s paper and forgot to take his name off of the user information for the Microsoft Word document. Reading two papers out of 40 makes the error easy to catch, he said. But the University is getting larger and more exams rely on multiple-choice testing. For another class, a male student tried to take an exam for a female student, not realizing they checked identification. Landon-Lane wishes students would be more willing to report other cheaters. He has yet to get any reports from students about academic violations. Backus has witnessed incidents where a student reported an incident of cheating in class. “There is a stigma, but in the end, students come forward because they are fed up,” she said. Jonathon David, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said just last week he had one teacher in a computer science class find students cheating by sending messages during class. He has also heard of students’ using upperclassmen’s papers, especially in cer tain writing classes. “It definitely happens here. It varies, but it’s ever ywhere,” he said.
Sivan Rosenthal, a member of Rutgers United Students Against Sweatshops, decided to combine several Rutgers student groups to start a group called “Where RU Barchi.” The idea transitioned from conversation topic to fleshed-out organization at the first coalition meeting last week. Rosenthal, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, formed “Where RU Barchi” as a movement to improve relations between Barchi and the Rutgers student body. The group wants Barchi to start holding regular office hours so students have institutional means to talk about campus issues. She understands Barchi has many other obligations, especially since the University has joined the Big Ten, but she does not want the Big Ten to facilitate his growing disconnect from students. “The coalition is, in part … ensuring students still have a voice in what’s happening in the changes that are being made [at Rutgers], especially since Barchi is the one making them,” she said. Rosenthal mentioned he recently cut $2 million dollars from the librar y budget, a move that angered some student and faculty members. WRUB wants to let the administration know that the changes being made to Rutgers should be
relevant to students, she said, and that the changes should also have the approval of students. “We want to make sure this University is for the students and not the donors,” she said. In an email issued at the beginning of the fall semester, Barchi said he would not meet with student groups this semester because he was touring to meet with donors who would back the University’s merge into the Big Ten Conference. Patel, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, found Barchi’s email “unacceptable.” Barchi has always been difficult to talk to, he said, but it is more difficult than ever to reach him now. Hasan, a member of WRUB, said student activists pushed to open up greater channels of communication with the administration last semester, particularly during the widely discussed Rice protests in May. Yet this semester, Hasan, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, got the impression the administration was making a conscious attempt to shut students out. The Rutgers administration is constantly saying it encourages open dialogue, inclusivity and shared governance, she said, but ironically the administration has done the opposite every time it has happened. High-ranking administrators were difficult to meet with before the protest, but it has become harder to meet with them a semester later.

worried about, so the class would be bombarded with students of color. Park grew tired of people telling her to go out of her way to teach others about her experiences and to tr y to be as understanding about it as possible. “Ever yone had problems with my tone, even if I said it in a nicer way,” she said. People were never going to be “ready” to change, she said. No one wants to give up his or her power. When she got older, Park realized she put pressure on herself to be a model minority. Even though she knew not ever yone would have to conform to a stereotype, she found herself filled with expectations of what to say and learn to represent herself. Although she thought she was being a rebel, looking back, she thinks she was too forgiving. The issue came to a head when a professor got stabbed in throat on the anniversar y of Pearl Harbor — clearly a hate crime, she said. But students were told not to organize, that the attack was a singular event. “It’s society who informs [us] who the victim of a hate crime is,” she said.
Similarly, when she asked the Asian community to host a vigil for a teenager who had been murdered by a police officer, they told her to only hold a workshop. Ngo said the University of Michigan had a lot of funding for ally-related events, but the only events they could do were workshops and inter vention events. He talked to staff and organizers to try to convince them that discussions on queer issues needed to be complicated rather than tied up in neat interventions.
“When your activism is about getting more power at the expense of others, you’re not helping.” ALEX NGO Activist
Park agreed that the structure of institutions, rather than just individuals, could lead to marginalization of cer tain groups. She found that Asian and other communities would conform to biases even when they were alone. That was the inspiration for the hashtag #NotYourAsianSidekick. She noticed many Asian women were asking when they would be
Now, the University has not made any changes to improve communication between students and the administration. Hasan hopes the request for Barchi to start scheduling office hours will be well received when WRUB formally takes its proposal to the administration in a month’s time. Boulware, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, said WOAH met with Barchi last semester to discuss adding a vetting process when hiring potential faculty and staff members. The issue became of importance to WOAH since Rutgers nearly hired Peter Ludlow, a former professor at Northwestern University accused of sexually assaulting a student at his apartment in February 2012. But Barchi has not taken any action since that time. “One thing I would say is that, you know, I understand Rutgers is in the Big Ten, we’re getting a lot of media attention, he’s going on this tour and getting funding and that’s well and good, but his main priority should be the concerns of the students,” she said. The students, rather than administration or faculty, are the people who pay tuition, she said. They are the ones who go to Rutgers, live in New Brunswick and Piscataway and invest their lives in the University. She said Barchi could improve his role as president at Rutgers just by doing a few things. “Pay more attention to the students,” she said. “Listen to what we have to say. Work with us — let’s work together on getting things done. We invest in Rutgers … a lot of us breathe Rutgers. The students are Rutgers, so students need more say in what happens [here.]”
included in the discussion about oppression of minorities. On the other hand, she considers it important that the society talks about multiple marginalized identities. “Even within groups, there are different levels of privilege and power,” she said. The organizations she worked with were often centered about otherwise privileged people, such as white feminists discussing rape culture. Ngo said he had the same experience. At his college, one fraternity hosted a party that only invited two black people. During the resulting angry reaction, the two Asian-American men who organized the party were “thrown under the bus” for not inviting more people of color. But the conversation in the Asian community did not address the possible racism against black students going on. Instead, they simply protested that they were also people of color. He said part of the solution was to deepen the bond between communities, especially organizations that work together to advocate for marginalized groups. “I’m out here picketing with you, but I don’t know how many siblings you have,” he said. Ngo tried to get a multicultural center started, but encountered layers of marginalization and selfishness. When he went around to other organizations to try to form a coalition, most of them only asked what they would get in return. “When your activism is about getting more power at the expense of others, you’re not helping. You’re just trying to get closer to whiteness,” he said.

Investors cautious as Fiat Chrysler debuts on Wall Street MILAN/NEW YORK - Investors cautiously greeted the Wall Street debut yesterday of Fiat Chr ysler Automobiles, a move that shifts the carmaker’s center of gravity away from Italy and caps a decade of canny dealmaking and tough restructuring by Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne. “We’re finally taking Chrysler back” to the U.S. stock market, Marchionne said yesterday on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. “One of the Detroit Three is coming home.” Investors in the United States and Europe approached the new listing gingerly, as analysts expressed reservations about the company’s prospects. FCA shares opened at $9.00 in New York and rose as high as $9.55 before closing at $8.92, up 2.5 percent from a Friday close of $8.70 for the predecessor company Fiat SpA. In Milan, where FCA will keep a secondary listing, shares rose more than 4 percent during the session and closed up 1.2 percent. Trading was muted, with about 5.8 million shares changing hands on the NYSE. Marchionne rang the closing bell at the NYSE yesterday to mark the milestone for the 62-year-old CEO who revived one of Italy‘s top companies and helped rescue Chr ysler along the way. The world’s seventh-largest auto group sought the U.S. listing
to help establish itself as a leading global player through access to the world’s biggest equity market and the cheaper, more reliable source of funding it ultimately offers. Marchionne yesterday said FCA might raise debt funding to help finance its $60-billion fiveyear investment plan. Fiat took management control of bankrupt Chrysler in 2009 and completed its buyout this year. It is now combining all of its businesses under Dutch-registered FCA, which will have a UK financial domicile and small London headquarters, with operations centers in Turin and Detroit. But Marchionne has picked a difficult moment to woo U.S. investors. Analysts think U.S. car sales are nearing a peak, while Europe is struggling to recover from years of decline and growth in China and Latin America has slowed. “Only those willing to accept the risks of a highly leveraged turnaround situation in a competitive, capital-intensive, highly cyclical industry should consider investing,” Richard Hilgert, an analyst at Morningstar, said in a note. IHS Automotive, a leading industry research firm, said yesterday that it expects FCA will miss Marchionne’s aggressive sales targets for the company as a whole and several of its brands, including Jeep and Alfa Romeo. IHS “does not currently expect this plan to succeed,” said analyst Ian Fletcher in a midday note.
People wait for the arrival of Sergio Marchionne, chief executive officer of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, before he rings the closing bell to celebrate the company’s listing at the New York Stock Exchange yesterday. REUTERS The company has projected a 60 percent boost in sales to 7 million vehicles and a fivefold increase in net profit to as much as $6.9 billion by 2018, the year Marchionne has said he would step down as CEO. IHS is forecasting more modest growth, to 5.1 million sales in 2018. Marchionne said “[he has] all the best intentions” of near-
ly doubling global Jeep sales to 1.9 million by 2018, but that FCA needs to boost annual China sales of Jeep to 500,000 to meet that target. A second Jeep assembly plant in China will open in 2016, he said. In comparison with GM and Ford, FCA is seen as less attractive because of its aging model line-up, high debt, weaker mar-
gins in North America and small presence in China. “Ford and GM offer much stronger cash generation and balance sheets, and are thus in a position to return cash to shareholders, while FCA still needs to raise capital,” Exane BNP Paribas analyst Stuart Pearson said in a note. — Reuters

Islamic state tries to justify enslaving Yazidi women ARBIL Iraq - The Islamic State group said it enslaved families from the minority Yazidi sect after overrunning their villages in northwestern Iraq, in what it praised as the revival of an ancient custom of using women and children as spoils of war. In an article in its English-language online magazine Dabiq, the group provides what it says is religious justification for the enslavement of defeated “idolators”. The ancient custom of enslavement had fallen out of use because of deviation from true Islam, but was revived when fighters overran Yazidi villages in Iraq’s Sinjar region. “After capture, the Yazidi women and children were then divided according to the Shariah amongst the fighters of the Islamic State who participated in the Sinjar operations, after one fifth of the slaves were transferred to the Islamic State’s authority to be divided as khums,” it said. Khums is a traditional tax on the spoils of war. “This large-scale enslavement of mushrik (idolator) families is probably the first since the abandonment of Shariah law,” it said. Dabiq, distributed in a slickly-produced online format, is described by the group SITE that monitors militant publications as Islamic State’s English-language magazine. The cover shows a picture of St Peter’s Basilica in Rome, with an Islamic State black flag superimposed in place of the
cross atop its obelisk. Inside it features photos of the group’s arsenal of heavy weaponry and what it says is the final letter to his mother from an American journalist the group beheaded. The article on slavery confirms practices documented by Human Rights Watch, which says Yazidi women and girls were forced to marry Islamic State fighters and shipped out in busloads from Iraq to Syria to be sold off as prizes. Islamic State practices a harsh form of Sunni Islam and has declared its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi the ruler of the entire Muslim world. Mainstream Sunni scholars around the world have denounced the group and its interpretation of Islam. The group has hounded ethnic and religious minorities in northern Iraq since seizing the city of Mosul in June, killing and displacing thousands of Christians, Shi’ite Shabaks and Turkmen who lived for centuries in one of the most diverse parts of the Middle East. U.S. President Barack Obama justified his decision to bomb Islamic State targets in August in part because the group was poised to commit what he called “genocide” against Yazidis, who were trapped at the time on a mountaintop after fleeing an Islamic State assault on their towns and villages. —Reuters

Ebola panic encouraged by social media COMMON SENSE CONSERVATIVE SERGIO ROJAS
B
oth ignorance and insensitivity abound on social media regarding the current Ebola outbreak. All over social media news feeds, you can see original and shared posts with ridiculous statements and references to Ebola. Some of these posts are meant to be humorous, some are intended to be serious, and others lay in an uncer tain middle ground. Aside from posts shared from of ficial health organizations and governmental agencies, it seems almost nothing on social media in regards to Ebola does anything to a.) Calm the growing panic of the fear of an Ebola outbreak in the United States or b.) Help raise awareness and a call to action to the ver y real and ver y devastating pandemic currently going on in West Africa. As expressed in the opinions section of this paper last week in the editorial “We Got 99 Problems, Ebola Ain’t One,” the chances of an Ebola outbreak in the U.S. are slim to none due to our country’s health care and disease prevention infrastructures. This is the general consensus of American professionals in health and medicine, with the Center for Disease Control calling the likelihood of an outbreak “very low” and Dr. John Howe, president and CEO of Project HOPE, calling it a “minute risk.” Why then, despite so many assurances, is the fear of Ebola spreading in the U.S. so prevalent? Again, last week’s Targum editorial assigned part of the blame on the media for hyping up these fears, which it certainly
is doing. I believe mainly young people in their late teens and college years further perpetuate this atmosphere of fear on social media. “Not everything you hear is true, it could be in Jersey for all we know,” is just part of a long warning of a post that came up on my Instagram feed regarding Ebola. This language has a kind of conspiratorial tone, suggesting the U.S. and possibly state governments are hiding the fact an Ebola outbreak has reached New Jersey — despite the fact that the New Jersey State Health
“Do not re-post, share or write insensitive or sensationalist things about Ebola on the Internet. … Instead, use your voice on social media to spread the truth.” Department has done an adequate job in quarantining an NBC news crew that recently returned from Liberia. One need only search the term “Ebola” on Twitter to find more posts that stoke the flames of some sort of conspiracy theory that misinforms and distorts the views of many young social media users. “Proof that Ebola is airborne” and “I heard the Ebola vaccine only works on white people” are some examples. The first statement is plainly false, but to the impressionable this leads to the belief that breathing “contaminated air” can lead to contamination. While racial tensions already exist in this country, the second Tweet furthers that divide, suggesting the creators of the supposed vaccine (no effective vaccine or cure has been found yet) are only concerned with the
health of whites and are leaving the black population to their own devices. Posts like these — which are re-Tweeted, shared and re-shared countless times — only distort reality of the situation in America and obscure and ignore the actual crisis in Western Africa. So what’s the big deal? Offensive and uninformed opinions are already shared and posted on social media all day, ever y day on ever y subject imaginable, right? While this is unfortunately true, it should not be an excuse. Do not re-post, share or write insensitive or sensationalist things about Ebola on the Internet. It is perpetuating irrational fear among youth and spreading misinformation. Instead, use your voice on social media to spread the truth. Share actual statistics about the low risk Ebola poses in the U.S. and why. Raise awareness about the grave risk it has for West African populations. Focusing on health risks that are not Ebola can be helpful as well. Rutgers students in particular should pay attention to the recent outbreak of the D68 strain of the enterovirus — it has already killed one boy in Mercer County, and there are confirmed cases in children in our ver y own Middlesex County. As we all know, social media is a powerful tool to communicate knowledge and opinions instantaneously and interactively. But as responsible members of society, we should use this tool to dispel falsehoods and break through the clutter.

Service provides inexchangeable experience COMMENTARY MAEGAN KAE SUNAZ
S
itting down amongst hundreds of students, I nudged a friend beside me and attempted to inconspicuously whisper, “The accents of the people in this movie are so familiar!” We were at a plenar y session for the Global Village Houses in Jameson, par t of the Douglass Residential College. It was a screening of the film “Six Days: Three Activists, Three Wars, One Dream.” The movie traced a day in the life of three human rights defenders thousands of miles apar t, and I had guessed the African activist was from Liberia. English appeared to be the primar y language of the people. Ever yone spoke it, and they spoke it excellently — and while many African countries are deft in the English language, it was the accents that grabbed me. Thick and distinct, they resonated. Also, what other African countr y spoke like this and had faced a war in the recent decades? It must be Liberia. And it was. Several more minutes into the film and it stated where the activists were from: Liberia, Georgia and Iraq. I seemed to have guessed correctly because these Liberian voices were reminiscent of my recent summer. Through the Center for Global Education, I participated in the Women’s Rights and Community Development in Ghana, where my internship placement was at a nongovernmental organization at a Liberian refugee camp. I performed in various roles such as a teaching assistant for a
kindergarten class, an aide in a classroom of children with disabilities from cerebral palsy to Down syndrome and an interviewer to write reports that would help raise money for the NGO to continue its processes. These interviews were a critical aspect of my internship — people were open to answering questions about how their lives have changed due to the support of the organization, and this was when I was allowed a miniscule glimpse into the trajectory of their lives. I have talked to survivors about the separation from their parents as a child, the
“I have taken more in experience than I have given for a brief period through my actions.” vehemence of terror in anarchy, the witnessing of brutal deaths of strangers and loved ones, the attempt to escape but discovering yourself on a sinking ship and to finally make it out alive only to find yourself all alone in foreign territory. Many of these people, now between the ages of 20 and 50, still don’t know what has become of their family. Was it death? Or are they alive and estranged in a distant place? These people have found immediate safety from the horrors of war, but long-term stability is still in question. Many are limited in the extent of their education, so employment opportunities are ambiguous — perhaps nonexistent. Tragedy is compounded by tragedy, and each day is a danger in and of itself.
I am evidently now in America, having watched a documentary about activism for a community I had the opportunity to work with. I am here, continuing my education in the safety of my institution and the security of this country, and they are there. The documentary we watched during plenary is undeniably touching and acknowledged as a reality, but it is a reality that isn’t grasped the same way as those who actually live it. For some, it may be a lingering thought in the back of their mind or an ephemeral recognition of what occurs in this world. I might be able to say (more than others) that I was really there with them — with some of the people who live these struggles — but that would only be the closing of a spatial distance. Even when I was physically so close, I was still so far away, for the experiences that have constructed my world are vastly different from theirs. I spent my summer assisting them, but that is a mere veneer. I have taken more in experience than I have given for a brief period through my actions. I hope to compensate for this unbalanced relationship by continuing a lifelong work of service in my lifetime. I have been exposed to and have taken in so much through my participation in my service learning experience that the failure to utilize this raw inner material for change, and to let it instead fade into oblivion, would be a shame.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Calling all millenials: Today is the last day for voter registration Few labels conjure a more diverse reaction than the word “millennial.” This is a generation graduating with an average college debt of $30,000 in a job market that’s leaving 40 percent of us unemployed. This is the first generation raised on computers and cell phones. This is the only generation with nearly half its cohort choosing access to the Internet over owning cars. And more than half of us are choosing to live at home to save on college costs — that’s up 10 percent from just four years ago. We’re the targets of a slew of accusations from older generations. Time Magazine calls us “informed but inactive,” The New York Times calls us “The Self(ie) Generation” and countless others have called us social media obsessed. One thing is clear: We’re facing a set of problems that are distinctly millennial. Suffocating student loans, a crippling job market, not to mention an increasingly treacherous climate shift threatening the nature of our existence. And increasingly, many of us feel the existing powers have let us down. And yet, statistically, we believe we can change the world more than any other generation has had the audacity to. Many issues in American politics are reaching a tipping point, often thanks to social movements indebted to our generation. Last month,
“If we don’t show up on Election Day, plain and simple, our elected officials will not represent us in that debate. Our social media posts won’t implement policies.” a thousand young people kicked off the People’s Climate March at the youth convergence the day before the rally. In the last year, student organizers in New Jersey led the way in the fight to get big money out of politics. These issues are all gaining the sentimental momentum necessary to spark a real political debate. But if we don’t show up on Election Day, plain and simple, our elected officials will not represent us in that debate. Our social media posts won’t implement policies. In the 2012 election season, only 41.2 percent of young voters showed up at the polls, while 71.8 percent of adults 65 and older cast their vote. The ideological divide between us is bigger than you’d think. Only 29 percent of the senior population thinks that interracial marriage is a change for the better versus 60 percent of millennials. Only 45 percent of the senior population believes the invention of the Internet has been a change for the better versus 79 percent of millennials. And these are the voters essentially deciding what our future looks like. Rutgers is the largest school system in New Jersey, and the students here represent almost 20 percent of all college students in the state. We have a big part to play in this upcoming midterm election. Fill out the registration form online at StudentVote.org and turn it in by 4 p.m. at any of the Vote Coalition’s tables on campus or at 104 Bayard St., 5th floor, New Brunswick, New Jersey, and we’ll make sure your form gets turned in.

CHALLENGE
Rutgers has conceded eight goals in its last two games, will host Penn tonight
OSU’s Bosa is one of top defense linemen in Big Ten, boasts seven tackles for loss CONTINUED FROM BACK
CONTINUED FROM BACK name Rutgers has faced this year but will nonetheless be another difficult matchup. Led by 2013 Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year Duke Lacroix — six goals, four assists —UPenn has one of the most potent scoring offense’s in college soccer, averaging 1.70 goals per game, which is good for 39th in the nation. Against a struggling Rutgers backline that has conceded eight goals in the last two games, the Knights could be in for another long night given their current form. The return of junior defender Drew Morgan from red card suspension certainly helps the team’s cause, but questions remain about how the rest of the defense will line up. Sophomore goalkeeper David Greczek was pulled at halftime in favor of fellow sophomore Mitchell Walier, who could earn his second start of the season. And freshman defender Brandon Tetro may see his 11-game starting streak at right back end in favor of sophomore Spencer Hambleton. Another uncertainty is how the Knights will line up in terms of their formation. Rutgers reverted back to a familiar system — last year’s 4-3-3 against Michigan with junior forward J.P. Correa and freshman forward Jason Wright out on the wings. Although the end result was not ideal, the Knights seemed more comfortable when in possession of the ball, one of the few advantages they had against the Wolverines. Though Correa has acknowledged his favored position is through the center, the Montville, New Jersey, native didn’t reject the idea of the formation as the new look going forward. “Who knows?” Correa said of how the team will lineup in the future. “We’ve got to find something that’s going to work for us. If we need to make another change, we make another change. [We’ve] just got to figure something out.” No matter what formation the Knights decide to line up in, the problems still go beyond the X’s and O’s. For junior defender Ross Tetro, the solution to get back to winning ways is less complex. “Just get back to the basics, the basics of soccer,” Tetro said. “Get our focus back on the game and kind of lock out everything else all the outside stuff. … If we start focusing on soccer, it’ll eventually turn around for us.” With just six games remaining in the regular season, the Knights’ chances of an NCAA at-large bid are slim. This means out-of-conference games such as Tuesday’s hold less significance. Although the game has no affect on Rutgers’ conference chances, it represents a chance for Donigan’s players to respond to adversity down the final stretch of the season. “You’re going to go through tough times, and that’s how other people are going to judge you … how you respond and act in tough times,” Donigan said. “Right now we’re in a very difficult time, but we’ll see who the tough guys are and who the mentally strong guys are really soon, because right now we’re struggling.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s soccer team, follow @SeanStewartRU and @TargumSports on Twitter.
Head coach Kyle Flood said the Ohio State defensive line is the best front Rutgers has seen in his three seasons as head coach. TIAN LI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
“They are a ver y good defensive line. I think they are ver y strong, big and physical. They are ver y explosive players,” Burton said. “Their discipline is one thing I noticed — they are rarely out of position. That’s what a lot of great defenses are. They are rarely out of position. That’s one of the first things that popped up to me on film.” Flood said the containment of OSU’s defensive line starts with Joey Bosa. Bosa is second in the Big Ten with seven tackles for loss and has added three and a half sacks so far this season. Junior left tackle Keith Lumpkin shared in Flood’s assessment of Ohio State’s defensive line. But although he thinks highly of the Buckeyes’ front, Lumpkin knows it still falls on the Rutgers offensive line to do its job. “This is a ver y good defensive line and one of the best I’ve seen,”
Lumpkin said. “We just got to bring our A-game ever y play, get on these guys, just block them, stay on our assignments and let the running backs do what they gotta do — let Gar y [Nova] do what he’s got to do.” But for a defensive line that moves well and is able to cause problems in the backfield, it all starts with how the offensive line can move to account for it. If you can’t keep up with how well they move, it will cause problems all day, Lumpkin said. “It just starts with problems in the run game. If you got guys that can penetrate a lot, or do two-gap moves, you gotta really focus on your footwork,” he said. “If you don’t have proper footwork, you will not block them. They will cause disruption all game … and it won’t be pretty.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @TylerKaralewich and @TargumSports on Twitter.

Assistants maintain unique roles at RU RYAN MORAN STAFF WRITER
Freshman goalkeeper Casey Murphy has performed well this season and was key in the Knights’ win against Penn State, saving three shots in Saturday’s 1-0 shutout. TIAN LI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
Rookie flashes as starting keeper GARRETT STEPIEN CORRESPONDENT
When she arrived on campus and seized the starting goalkeeper position, Casey Murphy showed flashes of brilliance. Through her first few games, she looked like a seasoned veteran rather than an inexperienced freshman. Even without a goalkeeper coach to begin the season, Murphy excelled largely due to her raw talent and ideal build for a collegiate goalkeeper at the Division 1 level. As the season winds down, the continuous strides made in Murphy’s game has the No. 20/10 Rutgers women’s soccer team brimming with high hopes for the future. Opposing Big Ten programs, meanwhile, cringe with the reality that they will have to deal with her for the next four years. Through the first 12 matches of the season, Murphy has started in every contest. She has locked down opposing offenses between the posts, recording eight shutouts and one combined shutout along with a .902 save percentage — a mark that leads the Big Ten. But outside the statistics, head coach Mike O’Neill has been pleased with Murphy’s growth as a leader on the field as the season continues. “When [she came] in as a freshman, I think the experience that she gained club-wise … to bring those elements into preseason and into her freshman year are very important pieces to her success,” O’Neill said. “The more she gets comfortable, the more she gets command of communication and making sure people are where they’re supposed to be.”
O’Neill isn’t the only one who has seen an apparent growth in Murphy’s mentality. Sophomore midfielder Madison Tiernan noted her teammate’s increasing confidence with each game. “She’s just playing with so much confidence, and I know when they’re taking shots, Casey’s going to save them,” Tiernan said. “I mean, she’s just playing like a veteran, so that’s what we need out of her, and she’s doing such a great job.” Most recently, the Scarlet Knights knocked off No. 6/7 Penn State — previously unbeaten in Big Ten play — and the up-
“She’s playing with so much confidence and I know when they’re taking shots, Casey’s gonna save them.” MADISON TIERNAN Sophomore Midfielder
set on the road came largely due to Murphy’s play on defense. She recorded three saves and secured the shutout in a 1-0 win over a Nittany Lions team that entered the game leading the conference in goals per game (2.85) and total points (102). On a team plentiful with leadership from the upperclassmen and coaching staff, Murphy credited her surroundings for helping her development over the course of the season until this point. “It’s just the environment we have at practice every day that allows myself and everyone else on the team to continue to im-
prove,” Murphy said. “So yeah, there are a lot of aspects to my game that [assistant coach] Lubos [Ancin] and I are working on improving, but having so much time to prepare for [Penn State] helped a lot.” Part of that improvement includes those that haven’t really seen the playing field much this year. Behind her on the depth chart at the goalkeeper position includes junior Bree Benedict, junior Alana Jimenez and freshman Brianna Scarola. Murphy said the group’s collective effort at practice with Ancin has helped her learn a lot and grow as a competitor. “I think our training environment is ver y competitive, and we push each other to work ver y hard day in and day out. That means coming in early or staying after,” Murphy said. “Our goalkeepers are a team, and we definitely stick together for each other.” O’Neill said the other goalkeepers on the roster and Ancin were the “unsung heroes” in Murphy’s success. “Lubos has been phenomenal with her, so they’ve developed a relationship, and the other [goalkeepers] — they push each other so much,” O’Neill said. “[It’s] not only the experience that she [gets] in games, but it’s how the goalkeepers train every day and [the] little growth between the three of them and Lubos. So when you see that development in all of them, then obviously that’s the case.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.
Assistant coaches in sports are often looked at as those of lesser importance than the head coach, but they often play an integral role and serve as the glue to keep a team together. Head coach Meredith Long manages the team as a whole, but her assistant coaches Roland Peekel and Lauren Burke are a big help in bringing out the best in the individual players and echoing Long’s points to them. “Both [Roland and Lauren] are fantastic additions to the coaching staff,” Long said. “I really can’t say enough about how great they are. They make my life easy both on the field and in the office. Both are really smart hockey coaches and are self-motivated. They take initiative with players [and anything] that has to be done with the team.” Both assistants came to coach at Rutgers with ver y different backgrounds. Burke arrived this season with the Scarlet Knights, reuniting her with Long, who was one of her former assistant coaches at the University of Vermont for three years. She comes over from Sacred Heart after serving as an assistant the last two years there. “My role on this team is to keep the girls balanced and reinforce the individual, personal, one-on-one communication and mentally refocusing, reinforcing, motivating,” Burke said. “We [assistants] help with focusing on [what] our tactical plan is, or fundamental stuff for a training schedule or a game.” Sometimes making a move to any other job is difficult, as it is hard to assimilate into a new life, but for Burke, is was a “no brainer.” “It’s a pretty unique and incredible situation,” Burke said. “How hard [the players] work, the coaching environment, the learning environment [all] help us to all learn [from] each other and grow and make one another push the boundary.” Throughout games, she manages the players on the bench by rotating them in the games and monitoring their recoveries. Both Peekel and Burke are on the bench to help the players as much as possible. “I think it’s awesome [to have them on the bench], especially
when you come off the field because if there are specific things you need to change, they’re right there to help and tell you once you go out there to fix this, communicate this,” said junior forward Nicole Imbriaco. “They’re crucial on game days because without them we wouldn’t know what we need to fix.” As recruiting coordinator, Burke plays a pivotal role in the recruiting aspect for the team attending high school games and national field hockey events around the country. Peekel first arrived with the Knights as a volunteer coach, while, at the time, Long was one of the assistants. He stuck with it and last year Long promoted him to a full-time assistant. Peekel is from the Netherlands, where he started playing hockey when he was six years old and has been coaching field hockey since he was 11 — not uncommon for the way they were raised in the Netherlands. Peekel was coaching the younger kids, ages five through six, and from there on out, he continued to play while coaching. He specializes in the film aspect for the team, taking the time to edit specific film for the team and individual players to help them focus on what needs to be worked on in practice. Long described it as a “big piece” of preparation week to week. “Whenever we [the players] want to come out here [to the field], Roland will make the time out of his day to do it,” said sophomore defender Elyse Broderick. In order to be a successful coaching staff, the coaches must be a unit working together and not on different pages. Peekel feels they are all on the same page. “I think because we are a young coaching team, we all have the same philosophy, and we all know what we want,” Peekel said. “We all grew up with field hockey. Field hockey is your life. It’s ver y important to have that. There is no difference between what the head coach is thinking and what we [assistants] are thinking. We think exactly the same.” For updates on the Rutgers field hockey team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

Knights downplay being early 19.5-point underdogs at OSU GREG JOHNSON SPORTS EDITOR
Apparently a 5-1 start and a win against Michigan — more than many pundits predicted from the Rutgers football team this season — hasn’t impressed Las Vegas oddsmakers. The Scarlet Knights open the week as 19.5-point underdogs in their first road Big Ten game Saturday at No. 13 Ohio State, according to vegasinsider.com. But that’s just the way Darius Hamilton likes it. “That’s great, man. That’s great,” the junior defensive tackle said Monday. “The best thing about the world we live in is that people are entitled to their own opinions. The only people who can change their opinions is us, and that’s what we plan on doing Saturday.” The betting line, though, likely isn’t so much an indictment of Rutgers as it is praise for the kind of hot streak Ohio State is riding. Since a sluggish start to the year amid starting quarterback Braxton Miller’s season-ending shoulder injury, the Buckeyes have won three straight games by an average of 38.7 points. The program has won have 17 straight regular season Big
Ten games, most recently blowing out Maryland, 52-24, on Oct. 4. Rutgers has an opportunity to not only slow down the conference’s second-ranked overall offense, but also showcase the program’s talents in front of a national audience on ABC, which will broadcast Saturday’s game at 3:30 p.m. The Knights haven’t played on ABC since October 2011, when Eric LeGrand led the team out of the tunnel at High Point Solutions Stadium for the first time since suffering his career-ending neck injury. “I think every Big Ten game we play is a chance to make a statement because people don’t expect much out of us. They don’t expect us to play good football, tough football,” said senior middle linebacker Kevin Snyder. “Once you have the national eye, you can really get people to give a little respect for you.” Leonte Carroo isn’t so sure, though. Even after the Michigan win, the junior wide receiver said he sensed no respect from outside critics, some of who pegged Rutgers to go winless in the conference this season. He expects more of the same going forward, even if the Knights cover this week’s spread in Columbus, Ohio.

“We’ve been underdogs all year. A lot of teams don’t respect us. I feel like Ohio State still has no respect for us,” Carroo said. “I feel like no matter who we beat all year, no one will ever give us respect. We’ve just got to go out there and continue to earn it.” *** Coming of f Rutgers’ first bye week, several key players are of f the injur y repor t, including Snyder, sophomore outside linebacker Steve Longa
and sophomore running back Justin Goodwin. Nine Knights are listed probable to play this week, while only senior center Betim Bujari and redshirt freshman free safety Andre Hunt are questionable. Five players remain out. Sophomores Chris Muller and Derrick Nelson split reps at center Sunday night in place of Bujari, who has started eight straight games on the offensive line dating back to last season.
“If Betim is unavailable for the game, and we’ll make that decision in a couple days, then it would be Chris Muller or Derrick Nelson [who starts],” Flood said. *** Rutgers’ first-ever meeting with Nebraska on Oct. 25 in Lincoln will begin at noon Eastern Time, the Big Ten announced. The game will air on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU. A final decision will come following this Saturday’s games.
TENNIS RUTGERS PREPARES FOR ITA NORTHEAST REGIONAL TOURNAMENT
Yale tournament provides experience for upcoming invite MARQUEL INGRAM STAFF WRITER
While the Brown Invitational was seen as a good opportunity to play against quality Division I foes, this past weekend’s tournament at Yale provided the Rutgers tennis team with a way to gear up for the ITA Northeast Regional tournament, which will begin Oct 16. Many teams that competed against the Scarlet Knights, including Yale and Brown, will also be in the tournament. So as sophomore Farris Cunningham noted, Rutgers
knows what it will take to post positive results. “We competed against the teams we will see at regionals, so we know what we’re coming up against next weekend,” Cunningham said. “All of our matches this weekend were close, so we know that we can win these matches if we play our best tennis. We’ve been training hard all fall, and we’re ready to showcase our skills at regionals.” Because of hard training throughout the autumn season, every player on the team had favorable results. “We all competed really hard at Yale, and everyone on the team
had a good win,” Cunningham said. “Most of our matches were very close, so it was nice to see that our team could compete at a high level against some of the best teams in the region.” Rutgers as a whole got the results it wanted, but there was one victory in particular that proved to be the sweetest of all. Among the highlights of this past weekend was a certain doubles team that was able to right a wrong from their first tournament a few weeks ago. “I played doubles with Mariam [Zein] this past weekend and had
a successful weekend with a lot of high-level, competitive tennis,” said junior Gina Li. “We previously had lost to Brown a couple of weeks ago, and we were able to come back and beat them this weekend, so that win was definitely one of the highlights of the weekend.” It is always gratifying to defeat an opponent that previously hand-delivered a loss in the last meeting. It shows how well players applied their lessons in future matches. Learning from mistakes will assuredly make a unit better. Another factor that helps a team play better is the support of team-
mates, which Li also credits for her and Zein’s success at Yale. “Playing at Yale, we were much more in a team match play format, similar to what we would play in the spring,” she said. “At Brown, it was much more individualized as we played in our own individual flight. The tournament at Yale really let us get a taste of how the spring matches will look like, as we were able to play next to each other and cheer each other on.” For updates on the Rutgers tennis team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

MEN’S SOCCER PENN-RUTGERS, TONIGHT, 7 P.M.
Coach calls for higher focus versus Penn SEAN STEWART ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
No matter the outcome, Rutgers head men’s soccer coach Dan Donigan said he likes to build on the positives instead of weighing down on the negatives. When the Scarlet Knights (3-7-1) fell for the fourth straight time at Yurcak Field to Indiana on Sept. 20, 2-1, Donigan praised his team for its effort and fight on the field. After losing to then-unbeaten Penn State, 1-0, on the road in Happy Valley, Donigan preferred to acknowledge how close his team came to earning a difficult road point, rather than getting outshot, 22-5. And even after a 5-2 defeat at the hands of in-state rival Princeton last Tuesday, Donigan felt the chance to earn a win in the Big Ten versus Michigan would quickly erase the painful memories. But following a 3-0 defeat to the Wolverines at home last Saturday night, there were no encouraging postgame thoughts. Instead, Donigan had one clear message he said he made clear to every player in the locker room. “They need to start to prioritize things in life,” Donigan said of his players. “If [they’re] going to be successful in life or in soccer, they need to make sacrifices, and they need to prioritize things. Otherwise, they’re going to find a lot of struggles in soccer and in life.” The Knights will need to prioritize — and quickly — if they have any hopes of ending a six-game winless streak and five-game home losing streak Tuesday night against defending Ivy League Champion UPenn at Yurcak Field. The Quakers (5-5), who are ranked 53rd in RPI by ncaa.com, may not be the flashiest Junior defender Ross Tetro said the Knights can still turn things around if they can get back to the basics of playing soccer against Penn tonight at Yurcak Field. Rutgers is winless in its last six games. EDWIN GANO / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

FOOTBALL BUCKEYES’ DEFENSIVE LINE BOASTS 32 TACKLES FOR LOSS THIS SEASON
OSU line poses unique challenge to RU TYLER KARALEWICH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Head coach Kyle Flood has been at Rutgers for 10 years, joining the Rutgers football team in 2005 as the offensive line coach. In addition to coaching the position with the Knights, Flood played on the offensive line at Iona College and coached units at Hofstra and Delaware. That being said, in all of Flood’s experience preparing for defenses and devising game plans for his offensive lines, this week’s challenge against Ohio State’s defensive line looms as one of the most difficult, he said. “They are the best defensive line that we’ve seen in the three years since I’ve been the head coach.

line coach for seven years prior to that, I don’t know that we faced a group as talented and as deep,” Flood said. “They play nine guys on their defensive line, and they are all ver y talented. They are ver y good up front and it’s not because of one guy. They have got a collective group that’s ver y talented.” The Buckeyes are one of the top teams in the Big Ten at getting tackles for loss, combining for 32 TFLs this season — 17 of which came from the defensive line exclusively. Senior fullback Michael Bur ton said they have some of the same qualities that set apar t other Big Ten defensive linemen. Their size should not go unnoticed, but they do other things well, too.
