Millennial minority identifies with GOP AVALON ZOPPO ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

With the presidential election approaching, a majority of millennial voters are either “Feeling the Bern” or “#ReadyForHilary.”

According to a 2014 Pew Research Poll, 51 percent of millennials identify as democrats, 35 percent identify as Republicans and the rest are undecided or Independent.

Many say the GOP needs to shift gears in order to win the crucial millennial vote.

But the strong Republican ideal of preserving free-market capitalism already resonates with many voters, said Brandon Pierce, member of the College Republicans. The GOP candidates need to focus on this strength in order to gain the millennial vote, rather than attack each other publicly.

“The candidates need to focus on why free market capitalism is good and why solutions outside of government involvement are better,” Pierce said.

Most Republican candidates deny climate change, but Pierce said this needs to stop. Instead, these presidential hopefuls need to propose market-oriented solutions to global warming, such as trade-able emissions permits.

Emissions trading is a system that provides economic incentives for reducing pollution levels.

The “cap-and-trade” strategy was formed in the 1980s by an alliance of free-market Republicans and environmentalists. Thus far, no 2016 GOP candidate has pushed this strategy.

“There’s a difference between Republicans and Democrats on how to deal with climate change,” Pierce said. “Democrats want the EPA and more federal regulations on businesses. Republicans need to explain how regulations hurt businesses.”

Although young and old Republicans stand behind free-market capitalism, Pierce said there are still clear differences between the two groups.

“Young Republicans today are interested in such issues as the environment, which itself is a more social-Democratic categor y,” said Michael Rossi, professor in the Department of Political Science.

“The millennial Republican is interested in talking about new issues that the Republican establishment is just not paying enough attention to.”

While older Republicans disagree with legalizing marijuana, many young Republicans are supporters.

Sixty-three percent of millennial Republicans support marijuana legalization, while only 38 percent of Republican Baby Boomers support it. And the market benefits of marijuana legalization that millennial Republicans favor are clear, where in Colorado, the legal weed market made $700 million in sales SEE MINORITY ON PAGE 5

Theta Delta Chi, located at 66 College Ave., came under fire recently for hanging signs advocating for breast cancer awareness that displayed sayings like “TDX Hearts Ta-tas.” In the face of some opposition, the fraternity was compelled to take down the signs.

Fraternity forced to remove breast cancer signs SOPHIE NIETO-MUNOZ STAFF WRITER

The month of October tends be associated with fundraisers, runs, walks for a cure and the color pink due to breast cancer awareness.

This disease killed nearly 42,000 people in 2012 and is considered one of the leading killers of women,

according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Zeta Tau Alpha sorority’s philanthropy theme is “Think Pink,” an umbrella theme for all breast cancer education and awareness projects. As part of their many weeklong awareness events, ZTA asks fraternities to decorate their house, and the house that appears

to exude the most support for breast cancer awareness wins.

Theta Delta Chi fraternity participated in the event, but has since removed their posters after receiving backlash for hanging posters that said, “TDX Hearts Ta-tas,” according to an Oct. 18 opinions column published in The Daily Targum.

Rutgers Fraternity and Sorority Affairs could not be reached for a statement regarding the emails.

Although the posters outraged some students, others like Linda Wisienski, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, think it is unjust that the fraternity was asked to remove them.

Parents play greater financial role in child’s life NATASHA TRIPATHI ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Perhaps parents cannot help themselves from aiding their struggling college-graduate children financially, but current students can help themselves and their family by building their professional experience while still in school.

Parents are aiding their college-graduate children to pay off loans and even pay hardy bills, according to The New York Times.

These parents who may naturally feel inclined to help their children find themselves in a dark hole financially.

They may fall short of saving enough money for their own retirement to support themselves in their old age.

“This largess sometimes blows a big hole in their finances, even jeopardizing their retirement,” according to the New York Times.

“As a result, some older adults are going back to work, reducing their own living expenses or even declaring bankruptcy.”

While accuracy and sufficient data is difficult to obtain, the NYT suggests there are several

reports that show possible problems associated with financially supporting adult children post-graduation.

Parents providing steady financial support to their adult children is a spreading phenomenon, according to experts quoted in the NYT article. This is largely SEE PARENTS ON PAGE 6

Professor studies trends of climate change reporting NIKHILESH DE STAFF WRITER

Climate change is one controversial topic in the media that is reported in a manner specifically designed to follow an agenda.

Lauren Feldman, an assistant professor in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies, studied how climate change is reported in the media.

“This was a study where we looked at … straight news reporting, so no opinions or editorials, in four newspapers,” Feldman said. “We had previously done a study of network television news, and so we were in part looking to replicate the findings we saw in (that study).”

The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and USA Today all covered climate change in numerous articles between 2006 and 2011, the years the study analyzed, she said.

Feldman and her co-author also did not speak with journalists about the pieces they wrote, she said. The study was strictly based on the published content of these organizations.

“The variables we focused on had to do with the impact of climate change versus the actions to reduce climate change,” she said.

“We looked at the extent to which news organizations covered (one or the other).”

One of the goals was to see if an “ideological bias” might influence objective reporting, Feldman said. Based on the study, that seems to be the case.

While all of the publications covered climate change, the WSJ was “significantly less likely” to write about what effects climate change would have on the nation, she said.

The other three papers devoted about 40 percent of their total articles on the topic to impact but the Journal only had 1 in 5 articles focus on that aspect, she said. “(The WSJ was) … more likely to talk about actions (to reduce climate change) but they were

also more likely to highlight the negative efficacy of those actions and say they wouldn’t work,” she said. “(They were more likely ) to frame them in a political context.”

This might indicate the paper’s editorial staff’s bias is influencing the writing at the paper, she said.

The WSJ has a more conservative readership and editorial board, she said. That could explain why their articles featured a more conservative slant, but that was not confirmed through the study due to the team not speaking with the writers.

“We don’t know what’s informing the reporting, if there’s a conscious bias or not,” she said.

The other chief issue her study found dealt with how readers were presented information, Feldman said.

“When (newspapers) cover … the impact of climate change and the actions that can be used to address (it), they don’t necessarily do that in the same article,” she said. “The article either discusses the need to deal with (it) or the policies and actions to reduce (it) without providing context.”

This was consistent with her previous study analyzing television coverage of the topic, Feldman said.

Combining the two aspects would improve how informative an article on climate change would be, she said.

“Based on what we know about the effect of media it would be more beneficial for journalists to talk about (both) impact and actions together,” she said. “Most Americans don’t follow climate change news.”

Readers who see an article discussing only the effect of climate change may become “overwhelmed” with that information if they do not see any solutions, she said.

Likewise, reading only about possible actions without understanding the need for them would not on its own encourage an audience to actively try and deal with climate change, she said.

Lauren Feldman, an assistant professor in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies in the School of Communication and Information, studied trends present when journalists report on climate change. COURTESY OF LAUREN FELDMAN This becomes an issue especially when someone only sees part of an article, said Chandni Patel, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore. While she has heard a lot about the topic, she is not familiar with how urgent it really is, given that news articles tend to repeat themselves on its impact.

These articles need to highlight differences between the last time the topic was written about and the current piece, Patel said.

It would also help to know how much impact a single person could have, given how large the Earth is.

“I would suggest (news organizations) try to avoid … the tendency to divorce climate impact

from climate action,” Feldman said. “(Readers) both need to be able to appreciate there is a threat and believe something can be done to address that threat.”

One reason news organizations have difficulty combining the two aspects may have to do with their writers’ backgrounds, she said.

While science journalism is a growing field, many major news outlets do not have specialized writers for topics like climate change.

“It’s quite likely that at many of these outlets the people who are covering climate change, their expertise might be in politics or business or (law),” she said.

“They might not necessarily be

in climate change, so that would explain why they immediately go to (another) frame.”

Knowing the pure science behind climate change probably would not help, said Daniel Rodriguez, a School of Arts and Sciences junior.

But adding context to an article would definitely be better than just throwing raw information out, Rodriguez said.

“I think there are wonderful science journalists and environmental journalists working at these organizations,” Feldman said. “But sometimes they don’t necessarily understand their news reporting can influence the public.”

Zimmerli Museum unveils new Ukranian art exhibit FRANCESCA MAY GILMORE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum is now featuring 60 works by Ukrainian-born artist Vagrich Bakhchanyan, a famous “absurdist” artist.

The collection, titled “Vagrich Bakhchanyan: Accidental Absurdity,” will be drawn from the Zimmerli’s Nancy and Norton Dodge Collection of Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union. The exhibition opened on Oct. 17 and will serve as the only U.S. venue for this event.

In an era where Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin and Nikita Khrushchev filled the pages of history, a broad range of expressive art emerged that challenged the politically commissioned conventions of socialist realism. Among these nonconformist artists was Bakhchanyan, whose works center around critiquing the Soviet regime.

The exhibition is the largest collection of its kind in the world, said Julia Tulovsky, associate curator of Russian and Soviet Nonconformist Art and curator of “Vagrich Bakhchanyan: Accidental Absurdity.”

“The exhibition contains art that was not recognized as official in the Soviet Union,” she said.

“During this time there was only one kind of art that was officially allowed ... which was essentially propaganda used to glorify leaders and the heavy labour of the Soviet people.”

What makes Bakhchanyan’s work so notable is that it did not adhere to the conventions of socialist realism, Tulovsky said.

Instead, his works are defined by their ironic deconstruction of Soviet realities, Tulovsky said.

The experimental practice and engagement with new ideology allowed Bakhchanyan to act as a catalyst for many innovative ideas that were further developed by fellow artists.

Yuri Miloslavsky, a poet, journalist, literary historian and Bakhchanyan’s long-time friend from Kharkov, said he experienced and lived through the same world and Soviet reign that inspired Bakhchanyan’s work.

“It was an interesting, very rich artistic life, an underground artistic life ... I would not say we were under oppression all the time, we were very young and very funny,” he said. “It was a game between us and official ideology, for us it was more aesthetic fighting.”

Bakhchanyan’s contributions to contemporary Russian society has been widely embraced, yet it has not been properly documented, according to a Zimmerli Art Museum press release.

He was a critical forerunner for major artistic movements like Sots art, which developed in Moscow in the 1970s as an artistic rejection of the official aesthetic doctrine of the state, according to the release.

“He was a master of masters ...

If you take any important historical school or movement of ideas from artistic life you can find Bakhchanyan as our teacher,” Miloslavsky said.

The Zimmerli’s Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection of Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union is one of the most comprehensive collections of nonconforming Soviet art in the world and includes about 200 works

by Bakhchanyan, many of which have not been previously displayed until now, according to the press release.

His work is interesting because of how it intelligently combines Bakhchanyan’s particular

Young Yuri Miloslavsky, left, stands next to Vagrich Bakhchanyan, to his right, in the city of Kharkov, the second-largest city in Ukraine. COURTESY OF YURI MILOSLAVSKY Bakhchanyan possessed a quick sense of humor and a keen sensitivity to the absurdities of life, Sharp said. His work is politically trenchant and playful, it requires close study and full engagement of the viewer.

“There is a work of Vladimir Lenin in the exhibition, what Bakhchanyan does is move Lenin’s hat down a little bit so he looks like a common criminal rather than the leader of a revolution,” Tulovsky said. “It is little things like this, these little shifts,

The exhibition is organized around these three areas of his diverse practice.

“Bakhchanyan was in love with the absurd, finding funny words, names and conversations. It was very important for him to see the absurd,” Miloslavsky said.

This “absurdity” reflects the artist’s surroundings at the time while paying homage to Russia’s literature, which featured absurdities beginning from the 1930s, Tulovsky said.

“It was an interesting, very rich artistic life, an underground artistic life … I would not say we were under oppression all the time.”

style with his message, said Jane Sharp, research curator and a professor in the Department of Art History via email.

“His work remains an interesting hybrid, combining rigorous analysis of representational techniques with a very sly and sophisticated understanding of the rhetorical uses to which they were put in the official art of the 1960s and 1970s,” Sharp said.

which take an entire ideological concept and turn it around from ideological propaganda to something completely different.”

Bakhchanyan re-contextualized the absurdity of the everyday in the U.S.S.R. through a range of drawings and collages, including 3-D objects and writings, as well as work addressing his fascination with the book and literature, according to the press release.

“Bakhchanyan would link the absurdities of his realities with this tradition, to the future and to the general culture of his world, because absurdity is something that you see in everything. It is very relevant,” Tulovsky said.

In 1974, Bakhchanyan escaped the pressures of the Soviet regime and immigrated to the United States, where he continued his artist practice. His work became

influenced by American pop culture, process art and Fluxus, according to the museum.

Though he was an artist whose early reputation was built on rebelling against and criticizing the oppressive Soviet regime he was unable to establish himself in his newfound freedom of the New York art scene, according to the release.

This unprecedented exhibition brings attention to Bakhchanyan’s influential practice and significance within the art world.

It follows his artistic development from early, nonconformist art to more recent American-influenced works, Tulovsky said.

On Nov. 12, a special discussion event for this exhibition will be held at the Zimmerli Art Museum. This will include a tour of the exhibition with Tulovsky.

The tour will be followed by a roundtable discussion with Alexander Genis, a writer and friend of Bakhchanyan, Vitaly Komar, a well-known Russian-American artist, Bakhchanyan’s wife Irene Bakhchanyan and filmmaker Andrei Zagdansky, who will be screening his film, “Vagrich and the Back Square.”

The collection will be on display until March 6, 2016.

OCT. 22 MONROE TOWNSHIP — A homeowner suffered minor injuries in a fire Thursday morning.

Around 9 a.m., Williamstown Fire Company responded to a home on Glassboro Road. Firefighters brought the blaze under control in about an hour, which occurred in a shop area attached to the hom. The homeowner was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. The Gloucester County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the incident, but the cause of the fire does not appear to be suspicious.

The 41-year-old and the 65-year-old, respectively, were also charged on multiple counts of smuggling foreign nationals into the United States for private financial gain. The two men were charged in federal court Thursday after a long-running undercover sting that targeted an operation that collected thousands in fees to illegally bring people into the country. If convicted, the two can face up to 10 years in prison.

OCT. 22 SOUTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP — Patrick Miller of New Hanover was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance in addition to reckless driving and failure to maintain a lane.

Miller was driving a pickup truck on Route 206 on the afternoon of Aug. 27 when his vehicle crossed over into opposing traffic and struck 29-year-old Allison McGinnis, who was running on the shoulder. The truck then plowed into several trees and overturned, killing Miller’s passenger, 31-year-old David Eldridge of Wrightstown.

In order to remain competitive, Rossi said the GOP needs to change.

“We will see a significant generational change,” Rossi said. “I

think this election may galvanize that change faster rather than prolong it ... The Ben Carsons and Donald Trumps ... are forcing a number of young individuals who identify as Republican and conservative to feel they must salvage their party from what it is becoming.”

due to the American economy, which has taken a hit in last decade and fallen short of spawning decent job opportunities for millennial children.

“There are clear warning signs, experts said, that parents may be giving their adult children too much money,” according to the Times. “These include taking loans from 401(k) accounts, failing to make full retirement account contributions or draining savings.”

Instead of cash, the NYT recommends that parents offer their children networking help in looking for a job and provide other forms of support instead of purely financial help.

William Jones, director of Operations and Strategic Initiatives at University Career Ser vices, said he thinks when students acquaint themselves with work experience before graduating Rutgers, they are more likely to financially sustain themselves independently as adults.

Over the last few years, with this year included, Jones said the job market has been challenging, though it is improving.

Employers are saving potential job opportunities for the students who have internship and co-op experiences before they graduate college. Gaining this experience can be a challenge for some students, but should

remain an objective, Jones said.

“We have a saying (at University Career Ser vices) that says experience is an entr y level requirement,” he said.

Students would benefit by being aware of and engaging the Rutgers Internship and Co-op Program, Jones said. RICP is a promising place where students are able to gather professional experiences and earn between one to six credits for it.

“Students who go through this program have more sensible career options upon graduation than students who do not,” he said.

Students should not wait until their senior year to find an internship in their respective field, said Melissa Blake, assistant director for Public Relations and Marketing at University Career Ser vices.

When students start building their resume earlier as an undergraduate student, it allows them to have more choices, Blake said. If students have had more than one internship and if they have professional experiences earlier on, they will not leave Rutgers struggling.

“Instead, you’re going to have the means to know how to network and have skills enough to be well prepared,” she said. “If you do the work while you’re here, you’re much more likely to have your first choice when you graduate as your destination.”

Lastly, use a toothpick or nail art pen to draw little leaves on the tendrils and near the stem of the pumpkin for added accents.

For added depth and artistic flair, use a bit of yellow nail polish to touch up the highlights in

the leaves and vines. This will give your design character!

POLISH IT OFF Make sure your nail art is completely dry by running your nails under ice-cold water for a few minutes or using a blow dryer. Finish

your look with a quick swipe of top coat to lock in the design. Use two coats for added shine.

When you’re done, don’t forget to share your finished nails with Inside Beat by tagging @Daily_Targum on twitter and using #InsideBeat! We would love to see all your lovely DIY designs!

He called us Gentlepeople, and we loved it. Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer (CIO) Donald Smith, more popularly known as Don Smith, is readying to leave Rutgers after over 25 years of service. Smith became a class and dorm room name after waves of DDoS attacks that started last fall. Through out the attacks it’s clear that Smith and his team worked tirelessly to solve the problem. This laurel is for you Don Smith.

Parking is always terrible in New Brunswick, that’s no surprise. But since the start of September, New Brunswick has made numerous changes to parking rules around George Street. Meters are now in effect on Saturdays, and instead of ending at 6 p.m., they end at 8 p.m. While the rules are new, meter maids are still issuing tickets just a few minutes past a meter’s expiration date. This dart goes out to the New Brunswick Parking Authority, please, just stop changing the rules.

CRAZY COLLEGE COSTS

RU APPLICATION RENOVATION

A few decades ago, students were able to be pay for college as part-time workers who juggled their academics. Today, students must work fulltime and earn considerably more than the New Jersey $8.38 minimum wage in order completely pay off their tuition. This trend only illustrates the palpably dismal conditions students are in, so this dart goes out to the exorbitant costs crippling college students and contributing to the formidable $1.2 trillion debt they face in America.

At the start of the week, the Rutgers app received a much-needed facelift. The new interface is much easier to navigate when trying to find bus times and see what’s on the menu at the dining hall. While the student news portion of the app no longer includes The Daily Targum, it’s still a useful resource. This laurel is for the updated version of the Rutgers app.

ATHLECTIC ARCHITECTURE

ANXIETY ATTACK

This Saturday, a groundbreaking ceremony for a new indoor practice facility will be held. It will be called, the Fred Hill Training Complex and will become a space for Rutgers sports teams, most notably the baseball and softball teams. The facility will be located near Hospital Road on the Livingston campus. This laurel is for the creation of the new facility — every Rutgers sports team needs a little love.

The bar to simply get by, let alone succeed, has been raised for the millennial generation. A survey conducted by the Anxiety Disorder Association of America indicates that anxiety among students is at an all time high, equivalent to the level of stress faced by the average psychiatric patient in the 1950s. We dart the unrealistic expectations shouldered by today’s students that compromises their mental health.

On being disconnected from Israeli-Palestinian conflict WAXING PHILOSOPHICAL JONATHAN FINNERTY

W

alking with mild content on Wednesday, Oct. 21, I was leaving my philosophy class and heading toward the student center on College Ave. Piercing through the average drone traffic

by Brower, I crested the steps to look down upon two groups of students in stark opposition of each other, both literally and physically. The tension sat heavy in the air, murky in all perceptions but sight, and cast before me were signs with many Palestinian names, all in a foreign tongue. Crossing the street toward the opposing camp, I was greeted by an old friend, a member of the Rutgers’ Jewish community. I knew better than to entertain any arguments in such a setting, and despite having friendly acquaintances with both camps, I am generally sympathetic with the Palestinians. However, I have never been able to fully engage this issue with endorsement on either side because there never seems to be a clear moral agent in operation.

Political deception, world theatrics, heavenly justification — where does one begin to take root and make a stance?

After passing through Wednesday’s extension of battle, I immediately went home and took comfort in Homer’s “Iliad” and found Book XII to be the appropriate

chapter for reflection. “Just because some god exalts you in battle,” says Polydamas to Hector, “... you think you can beat the rest at tactics. How can you hope to garner all the gifts at once?” And there one has it: perpetual war by two unreasonable (toward each other anyway) sides. Then this moral and emotional disconnect became clear to me. My view on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is not from any misguided apathy, but rather a feeling of, “I’ve seen this before.”

What is to be said for any good (Catholic) Irish-American, raised in a lower-middle class background with ties back to old Eire

and unspoken. How I despised the British and praised the men who brandished black masks and Americans that provided Armalite assault rifles — it sickens me in reflection. Now, with a bit more individualism and much less religiosity, I no longer view the IRA cause as the noble attempt I once thought it to be. Times have changed as well, no longer do mailboxes explode in expedient fireballs that level street corners.

No longer do the British police fail to act on advanced warning, thereby allowing the IRA to reach a higher body count. My thoughts on the mistitled civil war have

“Masked men appealing to God and country, tanks prowling poisoned lanes with full intent to distribute the most violent form of street justice, yet dialogue seems to be the hardest thing to come by. Open conversation, free of bullets and bombs, does not make the appearance.” herself? Perhaps, at least on my part, an unwavering and often unspoken support for the struggle between the IRA and Britain.

Growing up, there seemed to be no question about it, the attacks were necessary to bring about a unified island, free of British interference and provocation. Or, so I naively thought at the time.

Having been to Ireland on several occasions, there is a tension, especially in the northern villages and cities, similar to the one experienced Wednesday: silent, thick

changed, and no longer can peaceful justification for actions be had for both sides — Irish and British, Palestinian and Israeli.

Perpetual chaos is not an answer to stagnant relationships, or so I surmise.

Once, while in the small nautical city of Drogheda, in County Louth, I was told a story by a local cab driver. He happened to be living in London (not an uncommon thing for many Irish workers) during the troubles, and after the 1993 Bishopsgate Bombing, he was detained, interrogated and tortured, all

because his Irish tongue had brought about suspicion from the police. I asked him how he felt about the whole ordeal in retrospect, and he replied with a statement about how the actions of a few always hurt those just trying to stay alive. He said with his beautiful brogue, “We support those who do the deeds we ourselves couldn’t fathom, yet we suffer the same consequence, as if we were also guilty.” Perpetual chaos at the hands of those who keep the violent momentum in order.

So, my gray stance seems to stem from earlier, older discontents with the notion of suffering at the hands of the few and for no real reason except artificial allegiances. Masked men appealing to God and country, tanks prowling poisoned lanes with full intent to distribute the most violent form of street justice, yet dialogue seems to be the hardest thing to come by. Open conversation, free of bullets and bombs, does not make the appearance. If neither party can be said to be wrong, than how can anyone be right? Zeus, in “The Odyssey,” says with a blithe indifference, “Ah how shameless — the way these mortals blame the gods. From us alone, they say, come all their miseries, yes, but they themselves, with their own reckless ways, compound their pains beyond their proper share.”

Problematic discourse surrounding Middle Eastern women COMMENTARY JANNA ALADDIN

T

here seems to be an obsession with the state of Muslim, Middle Eastern and Arab women, and it is one that consistently comes into play when discussing politics, religion and foreign affairs.

Conversations centered upon the hijab (the religious headpiece worn by some Muslim women), debates on the situation of women in Muslim majority countries, discussions regarding family structure and other “contentious” topics have allowed for the deep politicization of and conflation between Middle Eastern, Muslim and Arab women. Indeed, the three distinct identities are often seen as one oppressed group. Nowhere is this problematic thinking more strikingly present than in the recent debates on current events between Palestine and Israel at Rutgers and the larger media. The narrative being pushed is that Israel has become a safe haven free from bias and gender discrimination. This is set against the surrounding region that is the antithesis: Women are not represented, or respected, or given agency. However, despite claims that Arab women are represented in the Israeli government, there is only one Arab woman currently serving in the Israeli Knesset, and Arab women are represented in high governmental offices across the Arab world. This sort of exceptionalism is built on a notion that women couldn’t possibly be in

“

positions of power across the region. Media has also generated the argument that Muslim, Arab and Middle Eastern women aren’t allowed to assert agency or wear what they want. But these popular arguments aren’t drafted in isolation and therefore, need to be contextualized.

Historically, narratives regarding women’s rights and the advancement of women have been highly strategized to pursue colonial and imperialist agenda. This is especially true for the Middle East. Reinforced by orientalism, a means of representation that

as a marker of this. Although he tried to push for more “progressive” policies in Egypt, he remained a key leader in the anti-suffragist movement in his home country, Great Britain.

Looking at a more modern example would highlight the gendered language of the War on Terror. First Lady Laura Bush created a nonprofit dedicated to empowering Afghani women, and while this may seem like a noble pursuit it cannot be separated from how it assisted in developing some sort of rationale for U.S. involvement in Afghanistan. Using a narrative of women and speaking of their sit-

“There are countless narratives of Palestinians seeking medical aid who are forced to remain at checkpoints being neglected of emergency medical treatment. Women have been forced to go through labor and birth at these checkpoints surrounded by soldiers.” enforces a binary between East and West, colonial agents have spoken critically of the situation of women in the areas they were colonizing. Scholars have referred to this as colonial feminism, which is a means of producing narratives about women to push colonial agenda all cloaked under the banner of feminism and equality. This has often produced contradictions and discrepancies, as is the case in Egypt during British colonialism.

Lord Cromer, British controller-general of Egypt, painted Islam as being fundamentally repressive toward women and used the hijab

uations allow for war and for intervention to seem more palpable. It also constructs a very specific enemy — in this case Afghani men (as the lines are blurred between extremists, civilians, insurgents, etc.) — who does not adhere to “Western” principles.

If one really wants to talk about oppression against Arab, or Middle Eastern, or Muslim women than I urge them to speak of war, poverty, political instability and U.S. foreign policy as oppressive structures. For instance, Palestinians, both men and women, in Israel face political persecution, unwarranted

search and seizures, mass incarceration and constant checkpoints. Their lives are structured in a way that they are not afforded the human right of mobility even within Palestinian territories. There are countless narratives of Palestinians seeking medical aid who are forced to remain at checkpoints being neglected of emergency medical treatment.

Women have been forced to go through labor and birth at these checkpoints surrounded by soldiers. Women in Gaza, are subject to the oppression of poverty and food scarcity as Israel’s siege continues to make Gaza uninhabitable. Women in Iraq experience injustice through eleven years of sanction and the complete destruction of the country. Women in Pakistan and Afghanistan risk being killed by drones and mines. It is also important to note that U.S. foreign policy directly contributed to the rise of the Taliban and other extremists groups.

It is time to move past this colonial notion of protecting Arab, Middle Eastern and Muslim women. War pundits, politicians, commentators or whoever it may need to stop drawing on the “oppression” of women to further their agenda. Better yet, they need to stop speaking on behalf of those they claim to want to empower.

October 23, 2015 MEN’S SOCCER No. 18 OHIO STATE-RUTGERS, SUNDAY, 1 P.M., BTN

Rutgers hosts Big Ten leader No. 18 Ohio State on Senior Day BRIAN FONSECA ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

When all was said and done in 2014, the Rutgers men’s soccer team finished its inaugural season in the nine-team Big Ten Conference in eighth place with a pitiful four points and its only win coming against a winless Wisconsin team that finished in dead-last.

Taking the Scarlet Knights’ less than stellar season into consideration, the preseason Big Ten coaches poll predicted another eighth place finish for Dan Donigan’s troops as they continued to adapt to one of the premier conferences in college soccer.

But the sixth-year head coach isn’t one to take preseason polls into consideration.

“I don’t even know why we do those pre-season polls, to be honest, because nobody really knows how good or how average any particular team is going to be,” Donigan said. “They don’t really mean anything to me, it’s just bulletin board type material.”

With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Knights have been proving the polls wrong, sitting tied for second place in the conference with preseason favorites Maryland, just one point below league leaders Ohio State.

Rutgers will have a chance to stand alone at the top of the Big Ten standings for the first time in program history on Sunday when it hosts the No. 18 Buckeyes (9-4-2, 3-1-1) on Senior Day at Yurcak Field.

Ohio State stampedes into Piscataway riding the momentum of a program record eight-game winning streak. Currently on a fivegame winning streak themselves, the Knights (9-4-1, 3-3-0) look to end the third longest active winning streak in the country in front of a national audience on the Big Ten Network.

Sophomore midfielder Brandon Tetro believes a win against the No. 18 Buckeyes would show the Knights worth and prove they belong in the Big Ten. EDWIN GANO / PHOTO EDITOR / OCTOBER 2015 “We’re both coming in feeling good about ourselves. The advantage we have is that it’s at home,” Donigan said. “(People tuning in will see) two good teams that have had a good run right now in the last four, five, six weeks of the season. Hopefully it’ll be a good performance from both teams, hopefully it can be a great game for the fans and hopefully we get a positive result.”

What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force?

Fans at Yurcak will witness first-hand Sunday afternoon as Rutgers’ second ranked offense, paced by sophomore forward Jason Wright — whose 12 goals lead the conference and tie for second nationally — meets an Ohio State defense ranking second in the Big Ten in clean sheets.

The Buckeyes’ unit has kept four straight shutouts and six in its past eight games, led by three-time defending Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week Chris Froshauer.

“This game is important for us to come out and show that ... we’re not just taking wins by luck, we’re a serious team.

Given the quality of the two sides and the circumstances surrounding the match, this is the most important match in the career of many Knights.

But they are approaching it as just another game on the schedule.

“This is a lot of guys’ biggest game that they’ve played — or one of the biggest games that they’ve played — and you want guys to be excited, but ... this isn’t the national championship game.” said senior center back Mitch Lurie. “This is another game that we need to win in order to give ourselves a chance to be in the national championship game.

I think guys need to continue to take it as another game.”

Rutgers hopes to begin the game much differently than their first ever meeting with the Buckeyes. Ohio State took the lead over the Knights in the first minute of the contest at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium exactly a year to the day from Sunday.

Wright managed to equalize for

Rutgers in the 22nd minute, but the Knights conceded three more goals in a 4-1 loss.

Junior goalkeeper David Greczek, who was in goal in last year’s thrashing, won’t be expecting to see as many goals get past him this weekend. The Fairfield, New Jersey, native has posted three clean sheets in his past four games.

After hosting the Buckeyes, Rutgers only has one more conference match — against the fellow second place Terrapins.

Lurie sees the positive side of his team playing their toughest stretch of games to end the regular season.

“We all know in the back of our minds that it’s huge, but really, the best part about this is we control our own destiny and we don’t have to worry about any other teams,” he said. “So if we just go out and play like we have all season … I don’t see why we can’t come out with a win.”

Defeating their direct rivals for the regular season crown would be historic for the Knights in more ways than one. Aside from inching closer to winning the first Big Ten regular season title in program history, it will show the rest of the conference that Rutgers is a game to circle on the schedule for years to come.

“It’s a big game for us because no one really believes in us in the Big Ten besides us,” said sophomore midfielder Brandon Tetro.

“No one really gives us the respect we deserve. We’re really the only ones who believed we had a shot, so for us to be near the top, this game is important for us to come out and show that … we’re not just taking wins by luck, we’re a serious team. This is a big game for us to prove it to everyone.”

October 23, 2015 VOLLEYBALL RUTGERS-MARYLAND, SATURDAY, 7 P.M.

Knights hope to repeat performance against Maryland JOE BRAUNER STAFF WRITER

Riding high off its victory over Maryland for the first Big Ten Conference win in program history, the Rutgers volleyball team now takes the battle to College Park, Maryland, for another showdown with the Terrapins in the second leg of the home-andhome series.

The Scarlet Knights (4-17, 1-8) appear to be reenergized at a point where the season seems beyond saving. Despite the record, the team looks to finish strong and make a statement on a climb up from the bottom of the conference standings.

While neither the results of Wednesday night’s win over Maryland nor Saturday’s outcome will matter much in the Big Ten playoff picture, a strong regional rivalry is brewing between the two teams.

“I think part of (the growing rivalry) has to do (with the fact) that we both entered the Big Ten Conference at the same time,” said senior setter Anna Sudbury.

“We’re both trying to prove that we belong here.”

The Knights will undoubtedly need to try even harder as they look to take another game from the Terps (10-13, 0-9).

Wednesday’s emotional win, highlighted by a fifth-set comeback, overshadowed the difficult fourth set where Rutgers was

dominated in every aspect of the game. The team eventually fell by their largest margin on the night in a 25-15 set loss.

Specifically, the Knights will need to find an answer on defense for Maryland sophomore middle blocker Hailey Murray, who pounded the Knights’ defense with an array of powerful strikes that they couldn’t seem to handle.

The return of Mikaela Matthews should give Rutgers the added boost it needs on blocking and hitting from the front row in order to stop the Maryland hitters, who will surely be coming out harder on Saturday night to avenge their Wednesday night loss.

Matthews contributed six blocked attacks on the front row for Rutgers, teaming up with senior setter Anna Sudbury and junior right side Lauren Cloyd seamlessly. The San Diego, California, native did not seem to miss a beat from her time missed due to injury.

CJ Werneke remained calculated in his emotions as is typical of a head coach, but did cite how big of a win that Wednesday’s victory was and how it would fuel the team heading into Maryland on Saturday.

“I think it should give us some confidence, but we’ll look at the film and make some adjustments,” Werneke said following the team’s first conference

Junior middle blocker Mikaela Matthews played a big role in Rutgers’ first ever conference win in the Big Ten, contributing six blocks for RU. LUO ZHENGCHEN / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / OCTOBER 2015 win. “We’re in night in and night out in the Big Ten.” While the second straight victory in Big Ten play would be key to building confidence for the second half of the season, Werneke refrained from looking far down the schedule at the hypotheticals.

“All we can do is control is what we can control — and that’s our efforts, that’s our level of execution, that’s our level of commitment —

and when we do that, we’re a very, very good team,” he said.

Now a few days removed from their first ever conference win, the Knights look to build off the momentum they have already gained and continue to make a better name for themselves.

Not content with the small victory they earned in beating the rival Terrapins, senior defensive specialist Ali Schroeter looks to

make an even bigger statement at Maryland this weekend.

“I think we’re really excited to do better against them than we did tonight … on Saturday,” Schroeter said. “As far as fixing some things on our side being more consistent, (we want to) be able to beat them better.”

WOMEN’S SOCCER No. 19 MINNESOTA-RUTGERS, TONIGHT, 7 P.M.

Rutgers looks to finish undefeated at Yurcak MIKE O’SULLIVAN CORRESPONDENT

The Rutgers women’s soccer team has enjoyed the comforts of playing at home this season.

The No. 12 Scarlet Knights (12-2-2, 5-2-2) have taken full advantage of the home crowd and familiarity of their pitch at Yurcak Field, posting an unbeaten mark of 8-0-1 on their home turf.

On Friday night, the Knights close out their regular season home schedule in a conference matchup with No. 19 Minnesota (113-3, 6-2-1).

The Golden Gophers are tied for second in the Big Ten standings, while Rutgers stands in fourth place.

The last home game gives the Knights a chance to fine-tune their play and continue their recent stretch of positive momentum as they head into the postseason.

“We like the way we have been playing, but we have to keep getting better and focusing on what we want to do,” said head coach Mike O’Neill. “It’s a very important game and we all understand that. It’s important to get better with each day, and we know that Minnesota is a very talented team, and our game plan will be crucial for this game.”

Rutgers enters this game playing some of its best soccer of the season.

Coming off a week where the Knights blanked Ohio State with a 2-0 win at home, they followed it up with a 1-0 shutout over then-No. 9 Penn State on Senior Day. For their efforts, many players received national recognition and accolades during the week.

Sophomore goalkeeper Casey Murphy has been a big reason why Rutgers has yet to lose a match at Yurcak. Murphy, who leads the Big Ten in shutouts (13), has only conceded one goal at home this season. DIMITRI RODRIGUEZ / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / OCTOBER 2015

FIELD HOCKEY RUTGERS-AMERICAN, TODAY, 3:30 P.M.

Knights look to finish season strong KAYLEE POFAHL

The team has dropped seven of the last eight games played, including an overtime loss to Penn State and a shutout loss to thenNo. 7 Maryland on Senior Day in the final home stand of the season.

The pair of conference losses knocked the Knights out of the running for a bid in the Big Ten Championships and leaves a zero in the win column for Rutgers in conference play.

The Knights were strong coming out of the gates this year, taking victories through the first five-of-seven games played — with both defeats coming by a slim one-goal margin — and leading the Big Ten in goals scored per game.

The mid-to-late season rut has the team eager to come out strong and get back on track to end the year on a high note.

“We’re just trying to get our momentum back and end the season with some wins,”

CORRESPONDENT

Sometimes, it’s not the way you start, but the way you finish.

Looking to round out a strong finish to the season, the Rutgers field hockey team takes its first single-game road trip of the year down to the nation’s capital this weekend.

The Scarlet Knights (6-9, 0-7) will go head-to-head with American (9-5, 4-1) for a non-conference battle on Friday at the William I. Jacobs Recreation Complex.

With the Eagles currently standing undefeated (5-0) in the all-time series with Rutgers, the Knights look to correct their history at American this weekend and return to the win column.

After taking a beating from a tremendously demanding fall schedule, Rutgers enters its next contest with the hope to stop the bleeding.
