International journalist joins university faculty BRITTANY GIBSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

International investigative journalist Mary D’Ambrosio traveled throughout Latin America covering stories of social justice wherever she went. This fall, D’Ambrosio is journeying to Rutgers to teach as a professor of Professional Practice in the School of Communication and Information.

D’Ambrosio, who has been published in numerous publications including the Associated Press and the San Francisco Chronicle, developed a love for writing about social justices issues. It is with the average people living in the areas where she traveled that D’Ambrosio found the “real” stories. This humanistic approach to journalism came from experience, she said.

“Covering a presidential campaign, for example, it can be very hard to get through to those people,” she said. “A lot of them have rehearsed answers already.”

Despite her clear knack for chasing down stories, D’Ambrosio said she did not always want to be a journalist.

In high school, she told her mother she wanted to be a fiction writer.

But being the granddaughter of immigrants, D’Ambrosio’s parents wanted her to have a more professional career and suggested journalism, another form of storytelling.

With her mother’s direction, D’Ambrosio joined her school newspaper. “(The school newspaper) let us do what we wanted,” she said.

“They never censored anything we wrote out of fear that we’d embarrass the school.”

D’Ambrosio said she felt immense power working for her school paper, covering any topic she wanted. She went on to win the New York Journalist of the Year Award, confirming her abilities.

After graduating high school, D’Ambrosio formally studied journalism at Syracuse University and later began a decade of work throughout Latin America.

D’Ambrosio said Latin America was a focal point for news at the height of the Cold War. According to her website, she covered “seminal events in the developing world.” This included, but was not limited to the Mexican debt crisis and Russia’s emergence from the U.S.S.R. SEE JOURNALIST ON PAGE 5

Students clamor for justice as war between Israel, Palestine rages on NOA HALFF STAFF WRITER

Standing with their mouths taped shut and posters held high of Palestinians killed in Israel, the members of Rutgers Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) carried out their protest, “Standing with the Fallen.”

SJP took a different approach than last year’s protest, a loud and controversial mock “die-in” where SJP students were covered in fake

blood lying on the floor, holding “Free Palestine” flags.

This year’s protest was intended to speak for itself, said Naiha Khan, a School of Arts and Sciences senior and vice president of SJP. “We don’t want screaming and shouting back and forth,” she said.

“We want to use silence to shed light on the injustices.”

She said the protest is intended to raise awareness as an organization of what is going on in Palestine.

Forty-two Palestinians have died in October alone, Khan said.

The protestors held posters of the Palestinians who have been killed.

One sign read “Fadi Mustafa, shot to death by Israeli Police as a group of settlers screamed kill him.”

Mustafa was shot with his knife in his hand after allegedly attempting to stab a 16-year-old Israeli boy, according to maannews.com.

Demonstration explains power of societal privilege ALEXANDRA DEMATOS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

“Find out what hunger really means” was the theme of Oxfam Rutgers’ Hunger Banquet held on Tuesday night, which offered students the chance to gain a deeper understanding of hunger and poverty around the world.

Oxfam Rutgers is a non-governmental organization and a branch

of Oxfam America, which reaches out to those in need around the world.

“We’re an organization focused on eliminating social injustice and poverty, and we are focused on an international and national level,” said Ranya Elmaghariki, a School of Arts and Sciences junior and vice president of Oxfam Rutgers.

The University’s international relations were strengthened last month when Rutgers School of Nursing—Camden signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Semmelweis University, the oldest medical school in Hungary on Sept. 10.

The memorandum is a formal collaboration that has strengthened the 30-year-old relationship between the two universities.

The chief facilitator of this agreement was Marie O’Toole, senior associate dean of faculty and student affairs and professor at Rutgers School of Nursing—Camden.

O’Toole suggested Semmelweis after having worked with the university before on exchanges funded through the United States Department of Education and the European Commission on Higher Education.

“The faculty wanted to expand offerings to students to facilitate learning about health care systems in other countries,” she said in an email.

The proposed cooperation is based on long-standing personal relationships and previous partnerships, said Marcel Pop, director of International Relations at Semmelweis University.

“Semmelweis University and Rutgers University have had a firm academic partnership since 1984, which is proved by the publication of 91 scientific articles written in joint cooperation,” Pop said in an email.

Mutually beneficial areas and forms of cooperation had been identified during the reciprocal visits by the leaderships of the two institutions, he said. These visits extended the scope of scientific areas and defined joint research, as well as faculty and student

mobility as the main channels of the partnership.

Personnel from Semmelweis made several visits to various departments at Rutgers, including the Division of Continuing Studies, Rutgers Biomedical Health Sciences, the Rutgers Center for Global Advancement and International Affairs and Rutgers School of Nursing—Camden.

“In each of these meetings, it was clear that there were many common interests in both the education of students and advancing health science,” O’Toole said.

According to the Semmelweis University website, the first step of this collaboration focuses on the introduction of the Erasmus+ mobility program.

“The Erasmus+ mobility program allows the mobility of one student of Nursing and one student of SEE SCHOOL ON PAGE 6

Rutgers reviews 2016 Democratic presidential candidates SOPHIE NIETO-MUNOZ STAFF WRITER

Up until last week, most individuals were unsure what three of the democratic presidential candidates even looked like.

With Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as the two most talked-about candidates during this election so far, many were not aware of Sen. Lincoln Chafee (D-R.I.), former Gov. Martin O’Malley (D-Md.) and former Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.), who dropped the race as of Tuesday and is considering an independent bid.

Many people are attributing Clinton’s media attention to her biggest donors like Time Warner Cable, which owns CNN, the network that broadcasted the Democratic Party debate. According to the Huffington Post, this could be the reason she was talked about from the beginning.

The media would not even cover Sanders if he did not pick up the traction he did with the millennial generation, said Michael Rossi, a professor in the Department of Political Science.

“The only reason why Bernie Sanders is popular is because no one expected for him to be this popular,” he said. “I think O’Malley and Chafee never got the traction they did because they just see themselves as contenders.”

The “smallest contenders” did not get any attention because they had a small following and had nothing to give attention to, Rossi said.

“The smaller people haven’t gained traction because the media has focused almost exclusively on (Clinton),” he said. “(They were) forced to cover Sanders because of the popularity he has received and only because of that popularity.”

Clinton is a big name because she has been such a major player in the democratic game for years, said Danielle Pocock, a Rutgers

Business School senior and interim co-president of Rutgers University Democrats.

“Of course the media is going to focus on her,” she said.

The media picked up Sanders due to what many believe are very extreme views, Pocock said.

“That makes for good TV and exciting news,” she said. “It’s the same reason why Donald Trump is on the news every other day.

He is an exciting candidate to watch and the media is very aware of this and wants to capitalize on it.”

Clinton and Sanders are dynamic candidates who have the ability to draw big crowds and be passionate about their issues while also having a bigger national profile, said Michael Denis, a School of Arts and Sciences senior and co-president of Rutgers University Democrats.

He said it has been easier for Clinton to be in the spotlight because she’s been in it for such a long time and has served in many different roles in the government, as well as advocating for children and family issues.

“The other candidates don’t have national profiles,” he said.

From left to right: Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Mike O’Malley and Lincoln Chafee stand on the stage for the first Democratic debate the evening of Oct. 13 in Las Vegas, Nevada. REUTERS It helps that Sanders and Clinton are able to raise a large sum of money, which increases their exposure for airtime for people to get to know who they are, Denis said.

“When you’re Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed democratic so-

word ‘socialist,’ and they think that’s a gateway drug to communism,” Rossi said. “People think Sanders is one of those bleeding heart liberals who will sign the country over to state-managed collective farming or whatever.”

“That makes for good TV and exciting news ... It’s the same reason why Donald Trump is on the news every other day — he is an exciting candidate to watch and the media is very aware of this and wants to capitalize on it.”

DANIELLE POCOCK Rutgers Business School Senior and Interim Co-President of Rutgers Democrats

“Two are former governors so they are probably not relatively known outside their states and the other only served one term in the Senate and never seemed interested in the politics of the institution.”

Pocock agreed with Denis, and said because the other candidates are removed from the national political stage, it makes it harder for them to “break into the main ring.”

cialist, and you are drawing over 20,000 people at a rally with the presidential election over a year away, you grab people’s attention,” he said.

Sanders’ goal is to get to the White House with a different interpretation of what the Democratic Party can do, especially since Sanders refers to himself as a democratic socialist, Rossi said.

“When people hear ‘democratic socialist,’ they just hear the

Sanders has resonated with the millennial generation because free market capitalism is not a major issue among young voters who are looking more for a decent quality of life, Rossi said. “(The) trouble today is jobs are scarce,” he said “Jobs are stagnant and millennials are entering the workforce knowing they are exploited by companies that cut corners and have little to no regard for their well-being.”

Sanders is the only person who seems to be talking about this and the election is essentially up to the millennials, Rossi said.

“If it’s not this election, it will certainly be a clear sign that the millennials are an electoral force to be reckoned with,” he said.

Rossi said he believes Clinton will win the race because of her money, notoriety and “political savager y.” “(Clinton) knows what she wants,” he said. “But here’s the thing: People like Bernie Sanders aren’t going away.”

Sanders has tapped into issues that millennials care about and have not been discussed before the way he faces the issues, Rossi said. He expects that if Clinton wins, she will offer Sanders a cabinet position because he is way too popular to just go away.

“I think a good number of people think Sanders really cares about the issues and (Clinton) will just say the right sound bites to get her elected. Sanders doesn’t care about that,” Rossi said.

PRIVILEGE Around 925 million people suffer from chronic hunger, according to Oxfam America CONTINUED FROM FRONT

The projects range from issues in Latin America to the local New Brunswick community, Elmaghariki said.

“We wanted to raise awareness about the social class that people are born into and how that really af fects how society works with this event, and how you can’t help what you’re born into,” she said. “We should take that into account.”

Attendees of the Hunger Banquet would come in and choose a random piece of paper out of a bag which would assign them to their social class.

Those in the upper class sat on chairs and received a bottle of water and slice of pizza, while the middle class sat on the floor and received chips and shared one bottle of water.

Those in the lower class stood

the entire time and received only one piece of candy.

The event was “eye-opening,” said Kit Taylor, a School of Ar ts and Sciences sophomore.

“I came to the same event last year, and it was really eye opening,” she said. “It’s ver y easy

“This becomes the stor y behind the people, rather than just X numbers of people,” she said.

“They’re not just char ts and graphs anymore, you can better understand where they’re coming from.”

During the event, Ameena Rana, president of Oxfam Rutgers and a School of Ar ts and Sciences senior, read a script with statistics and situa-

Canada and the United States combined. A child dies from malnutrition ever y nine seconds, or 9,500 children dying from hunger ever y day, according to Oxfam America.

According to the organization’s website, by eliminating injustice, people can eliminate pover ty. Companies and governments control the global food system, determining who can eat and who cannot.

“If you are in the low income group, you represent 50 percent of the world’s population,” Rana

“There is something to be said for giving back to the community you’re a part of. Rutgers is a major university and when you’re in the bubble you can get a bit blindsided to how most of New Brunswick lives.”

Taylor said she volunteered with groups including Elijah’s Promise, a New Brunswick

tions that people from various classes around the world live with daily.

Around 925 million people suf fer from chronic hunger, which is more than the population of the European Union,

said. “Your average income is about $2.83 a day. Finding food, shelter and water can consume your entire day.”

The point of the event was to show those in attendance that despite the fact that there was more

than enough food for everyone, it was distributed unfairly.

“We’re tr ying to show how much food the Ear th provides, but how unequal the distribution really is,” Rana said.

“People have so much power over this food, but others have no access whatsoever. Oxfam believes the problem can be solved if there is a balance of power around the world.”

Oxfam America is aiming to use five ways to feed the planet through their “GROW” campaign, which includes methods such as increasing productivity, increases farmers’ access to resources like water and land, modernizing food aid programs and holding governments and businesses accountable for the impacts of their policies and practices on global food security, according to its website.

“Oxfam works one on one with members of the communities so they can be self-suf ficient and don’t have to rely on outside resources,” Rana said.

“It is similar to the saying ‘give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’”

Oxfam is a great oppor tunity to take par t in community service, Taylor said.

“There is something to be said for giving back to the community you’re a par t of. Rutgers is a major university and when you’re in the bubble you can get a bit blindsided to how most of New Brunswick lives,” she said. “The overall need of the New Brunswick community is dif ferent than the needs of the Rutgers community.”

By the end of the event, the attendees realized how powerful the statement is that Oxfam was making through the Hunger Banquet.

“If ever yone could share the food, there would be no problem,” Rana said. “This event was a metaphor of what is going on around the world.”

JOURNALIST D’Ambrosio became founding editor of multimedia news source Big World Magazine CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Later, when D’Ambrosio was looking for a job, she went to the Associated Press hoping to be part of the foreign affairs team. She met with the editor and he explained two options to her.

The first was a traditional approach to covering the international stories she was interested in.

It would take about seven years, which D’Ambrosio said “sounded like forever to me at 24 years old.”

The second approach was more unorthodox and risky.

The editor told D’Ambrosio that, as a young journalist with a passion for traveling, she should seek out stories and travel to the countries she was interested in writing about.

D’Ambrosio chose the second option.

Without the editor’s advice, D’Ambrosio said she would have been lost. Her career choices since that point have never been strategic to advance her career or position, but focused on a journalist’s public duty.

Since then, she became the founding editor of the multimedia news source Big World Magazine and began a teaching career.

Becoming an adjunct professor at New York University was a logical next step, she said. The profession was “part of the family business” as both of her parents were teachers.

It was important to D’Ambrosio to mentor and guide students about to enter the professional journalism field.

CRIME OCT. 21 NEWARK — Johnny Muller from Glen Ridge was killed in a crash on the Garden State Parkway. The 26-year-old was a budding young writer and a student in Rutgers—Newark University, pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing. Muller’s funeral is scheduled for Thursday morning in Glen Ridge. Rutgers will host a special reading of his works at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday in the Dana Room at the John Cotton Dana Library in Newark.

OCT. 21 CLIFTON — A 17-year-old Paterson boy has been charged with murder, armed robbery, possession of a firearm and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

He is the third teenager charged in connection with the murder of a liquor store worker, Leandro Mendoza. The two others charged with murder are Owen Soltis, 18, of Paterson, and a 17-year-old Clifton boy. Mendoza was shot as he stood outside Lexington Liquors with another employee.

OCT. 21 JACKSON — Steven E. Mazurek baked pot-laced brownies for his parents, aunt, uncle and two other adults. The 29-year-old is expected to be charged by the police after he and six others fell ill while consuming the treat in a cottage in Knoebels Amusement Resort. All of the sickened adults knew Mazurek had spiked the brownies with the THC oil but ate them anyway.

“It can be hard, for example, knowing what job to take after you graduate,” D’Ambrosio said, She shared a story about how a professor helped her with the same exact dilemma.

D’Ambrosio came in with her feet on the ground running, said Steven Miller, coordinator of Undergraduate Studies for the Department of Journalism and Media Studies.

From the first week, D’Ambrosio was emailing him about internships and opportunities for journalism students, Miller said.

“Her projects since teaching have all been very student-orientated,” Miller said in reference to her five-week study abroad course in journalism.

In previous years, the study abroad course has been based in Istanbul, where students have worked together writing, filming and photographing different news stories.

The program and its students have won several awards for their work. This year, the program will be going to Florence, Italy, to continue writing and photographing stories about the Syrian refugee crisis, local arts and local news.

In addition to being proactive, Miller said D’Ambrosio embodies what a journalism professor should be able to share with her students.

“She has a great experience in traditional and online media ... which is needed in the field of journalism because of the way it is transitioning,” he said. “D’Ambrosio has been at the forefront of all of this.”

Those traits are also recognized within students in the Journalism and Media Studies major.

Chisa Egbelu, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, said having a professor with a professional background such as D’Ambrosio’s gives him more confidence in the material he is learning.

“She has a lot of knowledge and experience to share with students,” he said. “That only makes Rutgers look better and that affects me because I am part of Rutgers.”

After traveling throughout Latin America, Mary D’Ambrosio founded Big World Magazine and became an adjunct professor at New York University. She is now a professor of Professional Practice in the School of Communication and Information as of Fall 2015. ALI RIZA CELEBI

JUSTICE On Oct. 19, there were four terrorist attacks where Israelis were stoned, run over, stabbed CONTINUED FROM FRONT

“It’s so sad, no one ever talks about the Palestinians who have died,” Khan said.

The protest brought attention to pro-Israel and pro-Palestine students and organizations on campus because of the spree of terrorist attacks happening in Israel right now.

On Monday, there were four terrorist attacks where Israelis were stoned, run over by vehicles and stabbed, according to ynetnews.com.

“The incident was just the latest in a recent string of attacks across Israel and the West Bank, the last which occurred in Beer Sheva and resulted in the death of an Israeli soldier and Eritrean bystander,” according to the article.

In the midst of the attacks, four Palestinian terrorists were also killed, according to the article.

Khan said she could not make a comment about the situation in Israel now.

“I do not have an opinion because I am in not under occupation. I am here in commemoration and remembrance of the 42 Palestinians,” she said.

The 42 Palestinians were actual people, Khan said. She wants to let students know what is happening and where United States tax money is going.

“Our organization’s goal has always been to show everyone that we stand in solidarity with the Palestinians. That will always be our goal,” Khan said.

Going oversees during summer breaks not only gave her the perspective but also the inspiration to

speak out about what she believes in, said Duaa Abdulla, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore and protestor.

“Speaking out against inhumanity is the least I could do when we live in a so-called democracy,” she said.

A University is a setting where people come to learn intellectually, but also to learn about other cultures and beliefs outside their own bubble, Abdulla said.

“You don’t have to be Palestinian to support Palestinians, you just have to be human,” she said.

“We don’t want screaming and shouting back and forth...We want to use silence to shed light on the injustices.”

NAIHA KHAN School of Arts and Sciences Senior and Vice President of Rutgers Students for Justice in Palestine

While pro-Israel organizations have a lot of influence on campus, with donors and classes and more, all SJP has is the truth, Abdulla said.

She defined the truth as Palestinians being labeled the enemy when they are the victims. Regarding the recent terrorist attacks in Israel, Abdulla said it is a reaction to Palestinians being oppressed.

“I can’t say any innocent civilian should be killed, but if Israel does not obey to Palestinian demands and give them a life worth living,

then things like (terrorist attacks) will keep happening,” she said.

Pro-Israel organizations like Rutgers Hillel and Rutgers Chabad stood just across the street with an Israeli flag, news articles, charity boxes and prayers.

“We are here to send a positive message, to do deeds of loving kindness, send blessings and pray for peace in the Middle East,” said Rabbi Baruch Goodman of Rutgers Chabad.

Goodman said he believes that each good deed reverberates, and he encourages people to do good deeds.

“We are sending a positive message to all people of Israel, Jews, Christians and Muslims who want to live in peace together and push away evil,” he said.

Rutgers Hillel wants to provide dialogue about what is happening in the Middle East, said Evan Gottesman, a School of Arts and Sciences junior and Rutgers HiIlel board member.

“We are not looking to protest anything, we just want to allow people to freely discuss the issue,” he said.

The protest caught the attention of many students.

“There are casualties on both sides, innocent lives lost. They have the right to mourn those lives.

It’s not like one life is more important than the other. They are both right,” said Aaron Kessler, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore.

Kessler, an observer who labels himself as pro-Palestine and pro-Israel and is in the midst of starting a pro-Palestine and pro-Israel club called J-Street at Rutgers, said he thinks both sides are attempting to influence student opinions rather than attempting to create peace with each other.

“No matter what organization we associate with, we are all Rutgers students and should be conversing openly about the issue and not competing with each other,” he said.

Medicine from each university,” Pop said. “By using the grant provided by the European Union, Semmelweis University contributes to the incoming students’ and faculty members’ costs of living and accommodation during the mobility period.”

Fifteen undergraduate students will travel to Hungar y as a part of a class titled Health and Healing in the European Union in Spring 2016, O’Toole said.

The mobility period would last for four-and-a-half months. “(This) will give ample oppor tunities for the American students to not only par ticipate in academic activities but to discover Hungar y, its culture and traditions and to be par t of Semmelweis University’s vibrant international student community,” Pop said. “(It) comprises over 3,200 students from 78 countries.”

The exchange is based on a study program approved by both schools’ teachers and credit transfer officers.

“The immersion course in May 2016 has both theoretical and practical parts.” Pop said. “It would include visits to diverse health care facilities, interactive group discussions and keynote addresses. Participants will have the opportunity to identify socio-cultural differences in the European health care systems and develop a critical approach to health care ser vices.”

The par tnership is expected to extend to joint research

and talent suppor t scholarship programs, according to Semmelweis.hu.

“We are planning to broaden the range of this partnership by extending it to the field of dentistr y, Ph.D. studies and joint scientific research,” Pop said.

The current mobility program will enable the exchange of one staff member and one student between the Faculty of Health Sciences and Rutgers School of Nursing—Camden until May 31, 2017.

O’Toole said her hope is to extend this collaboration.

“It is hoped there will be many exchanges of faculty and students,” she said. “As time progresses, we will be looking at multiple opportunities to collaborate on issues of mutual interest to two great Universities. Health is a critical issue for ever yone at Rutgers ... It is important to understand the global implications for personal health.”

This collaboration not only enhances education but also stresses the strong relationship between Rutgers and Semmelweis University.

Pop said he believes that Semmelweis greatly benefits from engaging in joint activities with Rutgers.

“Rutgers University is among our priority relations,” he said.

“It gives us great pride and pleasure to be one of the partners of Rutgers University which ranks 60th in the world and continuously moves up seeking the perfection of excellence.”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Stories are skin deep at Anchor Tattoo shop Lately, it seems tattoos have become increasingly popular among younger generations. Walking around campus, you can see some ink, from small designs to larger pieces, on almost everyone.

One local tattoo shop, Anchor Tattoo, is just a quick walk from the College Avenue Campus. On the corner of Easton Avenue and Hamilton Street, the shop sits just above Sanctum Body Art and Sparks Salon. Fairly new to the New Brunswick scene, Anchor Tattoo opened its doors to the University community in 2012. With its affordable prices and eclectic style, Anchor is a perfect place for students to add to their growing tattoo collection — or get their first. But be warned, most people that get one tattoo go back for more.

Upon entering the shop, you are immediately greeted by hundreds of pictures of tattoos lining the walls, exposing you to the wide variety of tattoo styles the shop has to offer.

Anchor Tattoo artist, Erik Nyegaard, said they pride them-

selves on being diverse and not having a single specialty. He also added their dedication to giving good, clean tattoos that will age gracefully.

Looking at the collective works of all four artists Anchor Tattoo houses, you can find examples of American traditional tattoos, marked by bold black outlines and saturated colors, photo realism tattoos, New School tattoos, identifiable by exaggerated illustration style cartoons, lettering and surrealism – just to name a few.

People with tattoos are often asked why they got their tattoos.

Some can easily answer, wanting to share their story beyond the body ink, while others would rather keep it to themselves, holding the meaning close to them.

“The reasons for getting tattooed are as diverse as the people who get them — from signifying a major life changing experience to just picking an image that resonates with them,” Nyegaard said.

Nick Richard has been a tattoo artist for seven years and

has been an Anchor Tattoo artist since January.

“Interesting tattoos would be ones that I like doing,” Richard said “Stomething that I drew and put together, and I can really enjoy.”

The majority of people already have an idea in their head of what they want when they come in, Richard said, but if they don’t they do their best to help them.

Richard admitted that many Rutgers students come into the shop with a similar aesthetic in mind.

“Feathers with birds breaking off, the infinity symbol, the infinity symbol with birds breaking off,” he laughed. “Anything you see on boardwalk t-shirts ... that stuff’s common. But people like it for a reason, so good for them.”

While at the shop, we were lucky enough to run into two Rutgers students looking to get impromptu tattoos.

Tammy Mehman and Kinnery Chaudhari were planning on having an average Wednesday night when Mehman texted Chaudhari that she might want to get a tattoo that evening.

Anchor Tattoo artists will work with you to achieve your desired tattoo in a variety styles. MICHELLE KLEJMONT / MANAGING EDITOR “We always wanted a matching one,” Mehman admitted, “but she (Chaudhari) didn’t want one today, and then we walked in and she (Chaudhari) was like ‘I’m here, I’m gonna get one’,” No strangers to tattoos — 10 between the two — to be exact, the friends seemed excited about their spontaneous decision, but opted to keep their final tattoo choice a secret.

Fitness Instagram accounts become weight loss inspiration FIT-WIT COURTNEY HAN

I

nstagram isn’t just for artsy pics and punny captions. Scroll through the popular page on your Instagram feed at any given time and you’ll probably gloss over at least one weight loss fitness account. Many feature photos of “before and after” weight loss, healthy food and motivational quotes. Today, thousands of Instagram accounts are dedicated to those trying to lose weight or just maintain a lifestyle. With the ability to post pictures with the click of a button, people are using the app to update the Instagram community on their weight loss journey and hold themselves accountable to their fitness goals.

Although these accounts often receive a lot of hate, they’re a great way to motivate someone to achieve their fitness goal.

A few years ago, the detail in which complete strangers could be informed about a person’s weight loss journey was unheard of. Aside from blogging, there really was not an easily accessible way to create a digital community around exercise and fitness.

Using Instagram as a platform to communicate with others in the diet and fitness community essentially works like a digital form of Weight Watchers — group therapy for dieters. It’s a place where people can vent about the challenges that they

face when it comes to eating healthy and exercising. When people “cheat” on their diets, they hold themselves accountable to their Instagram fitness community. When they achieve a goal they have set for themselves, they announce it on Instagram and usually receive positive feedback from others on the same journey. If someone needs motivation to stay on track toward their goal, they can just scroll through their news feed.

Other benefits include the ability to motivate others and potentially become famous on social media. The Instagram

to lose anywhere from 15 to 50 pounds, and even more by posting their progress and getting feedback from others. There are also people that struggle with eating disorders and use Instagram to track their road to recovery and relationship with food. There are also people that have accounts just to share healthy recipe ideas and workout tips. For these reasons, Instagram has created the ultimate online fitness community.

On the other hand, Instagram also provides an opportunity for untested diet plans and “fitness” products to be promot-

“A few years ago, the detail in which complete strangers could be informed about a person’s weight loss journey was unheard of. Aside from blogging, there really was not an easily accessible way to create a digital community around exercise and fitness.” fitness community has become so popular that some accounts have achieved social media fame just by using this one platform of interaction. Kayla Itsines, a personal trainer from Australia, reposts weight loss fitness accounts and promotes constant motivation within the fitness community.

Her brand name workout plans were promoted solely on Instagram, and have inspired millions of people to exercise and get in shape.

Many people that started their weight loss journey on Instagram have managed

ed to the public on a wide spectrum. Scott Disick’s MateFit TeaTox and Kim Kardashian’s waist training sessions are health fads that are probably not reliable, but people want to try anyway because they see their favorite celebrity using it. Many don’t distinguish when celebrities are endorsing a product and when they are actually incorporating the product into their daily routine. A lot of people that follow celebrity social media accounts are still under the impression that these accounts are designated solely for their personal life.

These product endorsements should be captioned as advertisements so that people are aware that when they are scrolling through the feed of their favorite celebrity’s account, a lot of what they see are ads. Although the viewer is choosing whether or not to buy the product, it can be extremely deceptive if buyers think that a product has certain health benefits just because a celebrity says so.

Another issue with Instagram is the promotion of “thinspiration” and accounts that glorify models that are extremely skinny.

These photos can cause body image issues for people who think that being a certain weight or looking a certain way is necessary or desirable. Certain clothing brands have been criticized for promoting clothing with extremely thin models, which sends a strong message to the potential customers of the brand. Users should be aware of a thin line between losing weight in a healthy way and poor body image.

Although Instagram is certainly a nontraditional way to help people lose weight and stay fit, those that use it for this purpose should not be attacked or mocked.

With the implementation of new forms of communication and media and the constant issue of obesity and unhealthy weight gain, all resources should be used to try to be healthy and fit.

Column lacks thorough analysis of Israel’s political status COMMENTARY BRAD DAVIS

J

ose Sanchez’s recent Op-Ed, “On Israel’s shamed classification of refugees as infiltrators,” left me asking the following question: Why are the refugees from Arab League countries that Mr. Sanchez refers to heading to Israel? What is the motivation? For example, why would a refugee from Sudan find Israel a more desirous potential destination than Saudi Arabia or Egypt?

The answer to this question is the fact that Israel is an open, tolerant and modern society. Israel is also the lone democracy in the region, a country where Arabs and women serve on its Supreme Court. A country where an Arab party is the third largest political party (Joint List) in the Knesset, a country with gay bars and parades. A country with a safe and growing Christian population, a country where Arabic, along with Hebrew, is recognized as an official language. A country that has human rights organizations, labor unions and a sharp-elbowed and disputatious press that constantly hounds and hectors the government.

Is Israel perfect? Is Israel infallible? No. But which country in the world is? Is Yemen? Is Saudi Arabia? Is Libya? Is Mali? Is China, France or the United States? To suggest, like Mr. Sanchez does, that Zionism is “ethno-supremacist ideology” is nothing

“

more than a grotesque lie. Zionism is the civil rights movement of the Jewish people. Zionism, in part, is a direct response to the expulsions, crusades, pogroms, and ghettos in Europe and second-class dhimmitude in the Muslim world.

Besides a warped and twisted understanding of Israel and Zionism, Mr. Sanchez also directs unique and taxing de-

Sanchez, from the safety of his perch in the Targum offices, demands that Israel, a country forced to beat back terror tunnels, aerial bombardments and daily stabbings, provide refuge to citizens from countries that have declared war against Israel. The irony is very, very rich.

Though Mr. Sanchez would never write about it, Israel is in fact doing far more to

“The answer to this question is the fact that Israel is an open, tolerant and modern society. Israel is also the lone democracy in the region, a country where Arabs and women serve on its Supreme Court.” mands on Israel that he reserves for no other country. While Mr. Sanchez writes expansively that Israel, a country the size of New Jersey, is not doing enough for displaced refugees, he’s very quiet about what Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran (the chief sponsor of Bashar Al-Assad’s murder machine that is causing the refugee crisis) and the Gulf states obligations are. Why is this?

Also conveniently excluded from Mr. Sanchez’s directives is any appreciation of the fact that both Syria and Sudan are currently at war with Israel (Syria, along with many other Arab countries, attacked Israel in 1948, 1967 and 1973), do not recognize Israel’s existence and currently enforce a trade embargo against Israel. And now Mr.

help ailing Syrian civilians than most other countries in the region. Perhaps Mr. Sanchez would be interested in a New York Times article titled “Despite Decades of Enmity, Israel Quietly Aids Syrian Civilians” and dated Jan. 29, 2014. The aforementioned article provides a partial chronicling of the free medical care that Israel has provided to thousands of injured Syrians along Israel’s northern border. Whether being a first responder to natural disasters in Haiti or Nepal, exporting its famed “drip irrigation” water technology to many countries in Africa or providing life-saving medical treatments to injured Syrians, Israel, despite its very small size, has always taken a leadership role in humanitarian causes.

Finally, Israel was not, as Mr. Sanchez suggests, “Founded on the premeditated expulsion of 750,000 indigenous Muslim and Christian Palestinian Arabs in 1947.” The modern founding of Israel can be traced to the UN General Assembly-approved two-state partition plan 181, which provided for both an Arab state and a Jewish state. While the Arabs rejected this plan, the Jews accepted the UN plan.

Shortly after their rejection of the UN plan, five Arab countries attacked Israel. As a direct result of this genocidal war initiated and prosecuted by multiple Arab countries against Israel, refugee populations were created throughout the region. Many Palestinian Arabs, caught in the middle of this Arab-initiated war, either fled for safety or were told by the invading Arab armies that they could come back to their homes when the fledgling Jewish state was destroyed. However, many Palestinian Arabs did not leave their homes. This population forms today what is close to a quarter of Israel’s overall population. But what is the Jewish population today in the Arab world?

What happened, for example, to the ancient Jewish populations of Iraq, Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt and Morocco? Since Mr. Sanchez is so interested in expulsions, refugees and civil rights, perhaps he can discuss this issue in his next column.

OSU Rutgers scouts JT Barrett as quarterback of OSU potent spread offense CONTINUED FROM BACK

Sophomore defensive end Kemoko Turay returned a botched snap 26 yards for a score against Indiana in RU’s 55-52 win.

EDWIN GANO / PHOTO EDITOR / OCTOBER 2015

CAPTAIN Knights strong side linebacker shows up for RU in multiple phases of football CONTINUED FROM BACK teams,” Flood said. “I think the only way you can do it is to have some of your better playmakers on special teams.”

Other players on the defense have lauded the leadership of the veteran linebackers, namely Gause and junior Steve Longa.

The pair have combined for 107 tackles in 2015, including eight tackles for loss on a defense tempered by youth or inexperience at every position group.

“I think the biggest thing with them — both of them — is their work ethic, how dedicated they are to the game,” said junior middle linebacker Isaiah Johnson.

Johnson began his career with the Knights in the spring after transferring to Rutgers from City College of San Francisco in California.

Johnson said Longa and Gause show versatility in their leadership, not just through their play, but also with their knowledge of multiple positions on the defense.

“They’re great leaders by example, but also just talking to me, encouraging me,” Johnson said.

“Both of them know each position pretty well so they’ve taught me some things here and there to help me.”

As the Knights welcome the nation’s No. 1 Ohio State to Piscataway on Saturday night at 8 p.m., a defensive unit that has had success stopping the run this fall (fifth in the conference in rushing yards allowed, 126.2) will be front and center, charged with halting the progress the Big Ten’s best running back, Ezekiel Elliott.

“That’s our base philosophy here,” Gause said. “Stop the run, limit big plays and create takeaways.”

The Rochester, New York, native has looked like a polished

product at the SAM position through six games and his run-stopping acumen has been essential to the performance of the defense. Gause has registered 20 tackles against the run this fall, according to Rutgers Athletics, nearly an even distribution of his overall total tackles with 49 percent coming against the run and 51 percent against the pass.

Although it’s two weeks old now, the gut-wrenching 31-24 defeat at the hands of then-No. 4 Michigan State should help serve as a tune-up for Rutgers rendezvous with the defending National Champion Buckeyes.

Similarities are plentiful when comparing the two opponents.

Sparty also visited the Banks with an impressive backfield, in a primetime game, on national television and the Knights held their own, limiting the Spartans to 122 yards on the ground after MSU entered the game averaging 173 rushing yards per contest.

“We played our balls off in that game. We went out there and we did what we had to do,” Gause said after the loss. “We just gotta finish.”

Gause and company may need to call on that experience in crutch time as Rutgers hosts first-ever nationally televised game on the ABC Network. The sellout crowd on hand should provide plenty of energy, but in order to shock Ohio State, the Knights will need to impose their will.

“We take some positives from (the Michigan State game),” Gause said. “We were just playing physical football. And that’s what the Big Ten is all about.”

For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @KevinXavier and @TargumSports on Twitter.

In Miller’s absence, Barrett matured quick for the Buckeyes with an 11-1 overall record and an unblemished 8-0 mark in Big Ten play.

His athleticism resonates clear as day with the returning members of the Rutgers defense.

Look no further than sophomore nose tackle Sebastian Joseph, who needed only two words to describe Barrett.

“Relentless and will,” Joseph said. “We just gotta be real detailed on our assignments, what we have to do. We know how athletic (Barrett) is … We just gotta make sure we’re really detailed.”

Largely used as the backup to Cardale Jones this season, Barrett’s numbers may seem pedestrian on the surface at 249 yards with 4 touchdowns and two interceptions. But on the run, he’s already gone for 228 yards for five touchdowns — not to mention his average of 7.9 yards per carry.

That big play ability is just one aspect that Joseph knows the Knights will need in order to slow the dual-threat down.

“That’s the biggest thing with this conference — one little detail. A 5-yard play can be a touchdown, so just gotta be

ver y detailed and make sure we swarm,” Joseph said.” *** Reaching the midway point of the week, it almost feels as if Rutgers’ 55-52 comeback win at Indiana was just yesterday.

But since the Knights returned home from Bloomington, much of the focus has shifted entirely to the physicality that Ohio State boasts on both sides of the ball.

Much of that starts upfront on the line of scrimmage.

One of the aspects that might go missing in action from the Knights’ last win is the performance of the offensive line. On top of a rushing attack that gained 210 yards on the ground, Rutgers kept sophomore quarterback Chris Laviano off his back for much of the game with just one sack.

While things won’t be nearly as easy with the Buckeyes and one of the top players in all of college football, Joey Bosa, rushing off the edges at defensive end, the likes of junior guard Chris Muller should be put to the test with the possibility of pass rushes in various blocking gaps to provide complicated looks.

But for Muller and the Knights, the point of defending that began in the film room earlier in the week.

VICTORY Rutgers snaps 28-match losing skid in Big Ten play with 5-set thriller over Maryland CONTINUED FROM BACK was so excited,” said outside hitter Meme Fletcher. “I’ve never seen emotion like that out of some people and even myself. I started balling — it just hit me.”

Fletcher, despite being a sophomore, is one of the key playmakers on the team, leading the team in scoring despite losing a portion of the season to injury. In the biggest game of the season, the Overland Park, Kansas, native was as advertised, pacing the Knights with 25 kills.

Although having a heavy hitter on the outside is always a huge weapon for a team, Rutgers often struggles when Fletcher tries to do it all on her own.

In the performance against Maryland, she was joined by a team of dangerous hitters on the front row of the court.

Headlining the group of heavy hitters that helped lead the Knights to their first Big Ten victory was junior Mikaela Matthews, who returned to her starting spot at the middle blocker position after being sidelined for most of the season with an undisclosed injury.

Matthews registered seven kills in her return to the court and her presence in the middle allowed junior Lauren Cloyd to return to her natural position of right side. Cloyd pitched in with eight kills of her own.

“She opens up a lot of things,” head coach CJ Werneke said of Matthews. “Giving us a lot more swings out of the middle (and)

helping Lauren Cloyd getting back to her more natural position (were advantages she provided us).”

Despite the obvious lift that Matthews gave Rutgers, Werneke remained contained about the return of the Mt. Carmel High School product, still uneasy about whether she could maintain her level of play after being away from the game for so long.

The Knights continue to build energy late in the season. After their strong showing against No. 23 Michigan last week, the team seemed to have turned a page.

Now the team heads to the Terrapins home court for a showdown in College Park on Saturday night to continue a Big Ten

“We try and take the same keys that we do every week,” Muller said. “There’s different keys on how we’re gonna win this game and throughout the whole week we have to focus on them.

Most physical days, Tuesday and Wednesday, are over. So we just really have to get more in the film room now and just master our craft and get ready for the game.” *** Flood listed Leonte Carroo (lower body) as questionable on the Rutgers injur y report to start the week on Monday.

The senior wide receiver, who has hauled in nine touchdowns on the season thanks to a hat trick of three-score games, left last Saturday’s game against Indiana after the landing awkwardly on his third touchdown of the game with 2:06 remaining in the third quarter.

After the game, he wore a boot on his right foot.

While Carroo said he would “definitely” play against Ohio State on Saturday, Flood’s update on his star wide receiver’s status did not provide much more clarity.

“He did a little bit more today.

Not enough to get him out here on the field, but he’s moving in the right direction,” Flood said.

“Whether that means it’ll be fast enough to get him on the field Saturday, we won’t know that until later in the week.”

campaign that has been dreary for the most part.

Although the season has not been the one they had hoped for, Rutgers is now on a mission to push Maryland to the bottom spot of the Big Ten standing that it once occupied.

Fletcher cited the close game with Michigan as a major turning point for the Knights.

“I think the Michigan gave us some confidence,” Fletcher said. “(We) used the Michigan game as motivation to come out and show who we really are in this match and take advantage of that.”

Rutgers’ on-court leader expressed true feelings of the resilience of her team.

“Even if we’re down, it doesn’t mean we can’t come back — and that’s exactly what we did tonight,” she said.

Sophia Walia is the first Sikh to play for the Rutgers field hockey team. The junior defender has been an integral piece to the Knights. DIMITRI RODRIGUEZ / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / SEPTEMBER 2015

Knight trailblazes journey on field KAYLEE POFAHL CORRESPONDENT

When most athletes don their team’s jersey and come out to compete, they are playing for their perpetual love for the sport.

For others, each time they step on the field, they are exemplifying a much greater purpose.

Rutgers field hockey’s ace defender, Sophia Walia, has embodied this distinction ever since her initial trip of nearly 3,000 miles over to the Banks.

After being handed a field hockey stick as a 6-year-old girl growing up in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, Walia got called up to play with the Canadian Junior National Team when she was just 12 years old.

Moving forward through high school, Walia was faced with the decision to either stay home and continue training for the Canadian National Team — which ranks in the top 10 in indoor and the top 20 in outdoor by the International Hockey Federation — or come to the United States to play for Rutgers while earning her degree.

With such a cumbersome decision before her, Walia saw the chance to not only to build a foundation for a budding NCAA field hockey program, but also to represent her heritage and epitomize the promise that lies in embracing oneself.

“I’m the first Sikh to play for Rutgers which is huge … I think for me my biggest thing is playing for who I am,” Walia said. “(To) just show people that it’s doable even if you’re a girl and allowing Indian parents with such strict kind of backgrounds to know to give their girl a chance is a big deal. I think my parents really demonstrated that and that’s why I’m here today and doing what I am.”

Each step of Walia’s career as a student-athlete at Rutgers is influenced not just by her own passion for the game, but also by the change that her journey exemplifies.

“I mean, I play for myself sometimes because I love the game but I do play it to represent Sikhism and represent the young

Indian girl being able to do stuff like this,” Walia said.

Since coming to Rutgers nearly three years ago, Walia’s impact on the field has been momentous every step of the way.

In her debut season as a Scarlet Knight, Walia was 1 of 5 players to start all 18 games. The then-17-year-old earned honorary recognition for her breakout year, landing a spot on the 2013 All-Big East Second Team and the Longstreth/NFHCA Division I All-Mid-Atlantic Region Second Team.

That was just the beginning.

During her sophomore year, Walia tied the team-best with three defensive saves. She also saw time at midfield through her second season, prompting strong offensive outcomes that included a team-leading tally of six assists.

“I think the biggest thing for me is playing for who I am.”

SOPHIA WALIA Junior Defender

She ranked second on the Rutgers squad with seven goals — two-game winners — and 20 total points, which more than doubled her prior career-high.

While many college students fall victim to the sophomore slump, Walia produced the opposite result through this trying halfway mark.

She was named to the 2014 Longstreth/NFHCA Division I All-Mid-Atlantic Region First team and was honored with the Rutgers Sophomore Female Athlete of the Year Award.

Now winding down her junior campaign, the 2015 Big Ten Player to Watch has remained a force for the Knights’ midfield and defensive units, earning a start in 12 of 15 games played.

Not only does her progressive success carry significance for Walia and the program at

Rutgers, but also for her who she is and the underrepresented religious community that she is a part of.

“I think it’s a blessing to be named and to win all the first team (honors) … to be the first Sikh named to those things is amazing,” Walia said.

Walia’s many accomplishments produce triumphs for both Rutgers, herself and aspiring female Sikhs who hope to follow a similarly unconventional path.

Head coach Meredith Civico sees Walia’s presence on the field as a major benefit to the growth of both the team and individual players. “(Walia) is a field hockey player, I think, in its truest and purest sense. She’s just a player who loves the game, who sees the game and can execute under pressure,” Civico said. “I think she brings a creative element to the team as well. She sees things that other players don’t necessarily see or think of, and I think she in turn makes her teammates and the players around her better. She’s somebody who’s not afraid to take risks and not afraid to try things and she thinks outside the box and I think that adds a lot of value to the team.”

Walia’s unwavering passion for the game and for the collective team vision about where their program can go perpetuates her continuous growth as a field hockey player.

This enthusiasm has been blatant and steadfast since Civico was first began recruiting her to come to Piscataway and make her vision for the Knights’ field hockey program a reality.

“She was just somebody who was just so excited about the possibility of coming to Rutgers and excited about being part of a program that was the rise and being a part of building something at Rutgers,” Civico said.

“She was just so genuine with her excitement about Rutgers and I really still to this day enjoy that about (Walia).”

October 22, 2015 WOMEN’S SOCCER COLBY CIARROCCA, ADORA MONEME PIVOTAL FOR NO. 12 KNIGHTS

Newcomers adapt quickly, play crucial role for Rutgers MIKE O’SULLIVAN CORRESPONDENT

Over the course of a season, teams hope to see progression from younger players that shows all the hard work and training pay off.

It can take a while for younger college athletes to truly come into their own, as they deal with experiences such as living away from home on top of getting comfortable with new coaches and teammates.

For the No. 12 Rutgers women’s soccer team, the growth of some key newcomers has been pivotal in winning matches down the stretch of the season.

The Scarlet Knights (12-2-2, 5-22) are coming off their biggest win of the year against then-No. 9 Penn State, with sophomore forward Colby Ciarrocca scoring the game-winning goal in the 1-0 victory.

She also scored a late goal to seal the team’s 2-0 victory over Ohio State last week.

Ciarrocca leads the team with six goals and her emergence as an offensive force has been crucial to the Knights’ success.

“Colby has the great ability to score goals at the times when we need them,” said head coach Mike O’Neill. “Her impact is very important because, over a season, you’re going to need different answers (to score). With Colby and (junior midfielder) Madison (Tiernan) and other players coming out of the midfield, somebody needs to step up and score for us and Colby’s been able to do that for us the last two games. She’s a difference-maker for us.”

For her efforts over the last week, Ciarrocca was awarded the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week and named a TopDrawerSoccer National Team of the Week Honorable Mention.

Her performances have caught the eye of her veteran teammates, who see the effect she can have on games, especially when Rutgers is in search of scoring.

“She has had a very big impact on our whole team,” said senior defender Erica Skroski. “She knows how to get it done, and those are not easy goals to score. But she gets herself in the right positions and can put the team on her back.

Penn State was a huge game and we needed those three points, so it was great for her to get that goal.”

Another young standout making strides recently has been freshman defender Adora Moneme.

The Union, New Jersey, native scored the game-winning goal in the win over Ohio State, giving her two scores for the season.

She has seen more playing time recently, and was named Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Week for her efforts.

Moneme’s presence as a physical force is essential for Rutgers establishing their tough defense, and her pair of goals has been an even bigger bonus for the team.

“It’s been very important for Adora to get going for us,” O’Neill said. “When you get your opportunities to contribute, it’s important to make sure that you are able to do so, which is exactly what she’s done. She has stepped up and contributed.”

Sophomore goalkeeper Casey Murphy was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week after her pair of shutouts last week.

She already has 23 shutouts in her career, which lands her in a third-place tie on the program’s all-time list.

For the season, she has 13 clean sheets, and is one away from tying Erin Guthrie’s 2006 school record for the most by a Rutgers goalkeeper in a season.

Murphy’s emergence as a stabilizing factor in net over the past two seasons has been a major part of allowing Rutgers to play the physical style they like to exude, and now Moneme provides even more of that steadiness in front of Murphy.

“Adora is a big player for us,” Tiernan said. “We talk about being ‘30 Strong,’ and being strong coming off the bench, which she has done. She has really stepped up and when gets her minutes, she capitalizes on our time and makes our defense that much stronger.”

RU hits midway point, increases prep for OSU

Senior captain contributes on defense, specials

Knowing the challenge that awaits all the way around with Ohio State, the Rutgers football team vigorously continued its preparation for the top team in all of college football in its midweek practice on Wednesday at the F3 Turf Field.

One day after the No. 1 Buckeyes (70, 3-0) named JT Barrett their starting quarterback for Saturday night’s 8 p.m. primetime matchup on ABC, the Scarlet Knights (3-3, 1-2) began their game plan for stopping just one of OSU’s many dynamic playmakers.

Head coach Kyle Flood has been doing ever ything imaginable to keep his team’s defense ready for whatever Ohio State and Urban Meyer have up their sleeves.

That includes 5-foot-7, 165-pound true freshman wide receiver Chris Parker running the scout team at quarterback.

“We’ve got some guys rolling through playing all of those positions, but it’s not easy to do,” Flood said, referring to Parker. “We’re talking about two of the more dynamic football players in college football (Barrett and senior wide receiver Braxton Miller), so to … think you’re gonna be able to simulate it completely is hard.”

While Barrett makes just his first start of the season, the sophomore is more than qualified.

Before Miller moved over to wide receiver, he missed the entire 2014 season with a shoulder injur y after ser ving as the starting quarterback since his freshman year.

Barrett, who suffered a season-ending injur y of his own with a broken ankle in the regular season finale, shattered Drew Brees’s Big Ten single-season total touchdowns record (43) and ranked first in the conference in pass efficiency rating (169.8).

Sometimes the plays that cannot be seen in the box score are more valuable than the ones printed in bold.

Senior strong side linebacker Quentin Gause made a career-high 10 tackles on defense for the Rutgers football team in the historic comeback win over Indiana last Saturday.

Gause’s banner performance for the Scarlet Knights also yielded one tackle for loss, raising his team-leading total to five tackles behind the line of scrimmage in the 2015 campaign.

But perhaps the most significant play made by the senior captain never showed up on the Knights’ stat sheet.

On the first play of the fourth quarter, with Rutgers trailing, 52-33, Hoosiers long snapper Dan Godsil sent the ball over the head of punter Erich Toth and sophomore defensive end Kemoko Turay eventually corralled the loose ball and carried it down the sideline for a touchdown to make it 52-39, Indiana.

But what was lost in the shuffle of the scoop-and-score was that Gause’s hit on Toth made the tide-turning play possible.

After Indiana’s senior punter scrambled to regain possession, the senior linebacker stripped Toth of the football, allowing Turay to recover the fumble and rumble 26 yards to pay dirt.

“That was good to see,” head coach Kyle Flood said of the special teams touchdown.

“It’s good to see the coaching come up on the film, in a live situation.”

Flood has always been a proponent of the special teams unit, but he feels the contributions from starters like Gause show a good example for the underclassmen on the team.

“It immediately shows the younger players in the program the value of special

The ball smacked the floor after a Maryland attack error and just like that, it was all over.

The Barn exploded with cheers as the Rutgers volleyball team earned its first Big Ten Conference win in program history.

Even more miraculous than the end of a 28 conference match losing streak was the way that the fifth and final set was won by the Scarlet Knights (4-14, 1-8).

Miscommunication in the front row for Rutgers dug the team in an early hole, down 8-3 in the fifth and final set after Maryland dominated the fourth.

Then the unthinkable happened. Led by the serves of senior outside hitter Alex Lassa, the team was able to find itself and mount a comeback.

Sophomore nose tackle Sebastian Joseph said JT Barrett is relentless.

“It took all of us to do that,” senior defensive specialist Ali Schroeter said of the team’s rally in the fifth set. “Especially in that fifth game where it’s only (played) to 15, you’ve got to really figure it out soon.”

The final set is always a brief one in college volleyball, played to 15 points instead of the regular 25, stacking the odds heavily in the favor of the Maryland Terrapins (1013, 0-9). But nevertheless, the game slipped out of the hands of the Terps and turned into what may be the defining moment in Rutgers volleyball history.

The players acted accordingly, mobbing the six players who finished the game and headed to the home locker room of the College Avenue Gymnasium where an emotional scene ensued.
