Norwegian academic discusses global health ERIN PETENKO ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
Since Dr. Ole Petter Ottersen helped publish a report on politics and global health, people in many nations have approached him asking him to analyze policy decisions. Ottersen, president of the University of Oslo in Norway, discussed the role of politics in global health issues yesterday at the School of Communication and Information on the College Avenue campus. Ottersen is chair of the Lancet-UiO Commission on the Global Governance of Health, which published the report. He has also served as director of the Norwegian Research Council’s Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience. Ottersen said his university had some similarities with Rutgers. Like Rutgers, which was founded 10 years before the nation’s independence, the University of Oslo was founded in 1811, just a few years before Norway’s independence from Denmark. He said the country was “too strong” for Denmark with a university, but universities are still just as strong today. Global challenges should occupy center stage for all types of education,
he said, in order to understand how to tackle them. His university has made that one of its priorities. That was the focus of Ottersen’s commissions report, which aimed to study the social and political determinants of health, such as economic inequality. Eighteen members from 16 different countries contributed to the report. He said too many educators have taught students to think of disease as biology gone astray and to think of health systems on a national rather than an international scale. “Medical approach alone can’t fight the root causes of disease,” he said. It is time to groom the minds of medical educators to encompass the complex issues in his report. One such complex issue is Ebola, which he called the “terrorism of poverty,” commenting on the relationship between lack of health resources and suffering from the disease. Polio vaccinations are another example of the relationship between politics and health. After the violence in Afghanistan and the Middle East, many of the programs lost the gains they originally made. SEE HEALTH ON PAGE 8

Professor at Cornell talks queer narrative in US hip-hop Rapper Lil B raised eyebrows in 2011 when he released his album, “I’m Gay (I’m Happy),” then went on record stating he never had interest in men and was attracted to women. At the same time, he claimed he was still both heterosexual and gay. Lil B defended his album by saying the album title was a way to “break down barriers” and exemplify that words mean nothing. “Don’t let a word make you discriminate upon another human,” he said on air to MTV’s RapFix Live. Many people accused Lil B of naming his album “I’m Gay” as a marketing ruse — something plastic and in orientation with capitalist flows. But C. Riley Snorton sees the album as more than just music — it is an intersection of gender, sexuality, blackness and capitalism. Snorton, assistant professor in Africana studies and feminist, gender and sexuality studies at Cornell University, spoke to a tightly packed audience yesterday at the Ruth Dill Johnson Crockett building on Dou-
at the Red Lion Café on the College Avenue campus. One resilient inspiration was a 14 year old named Khalil, the Palestinian boy who Gilber t met in 1982 after he had just lost his mother to an Israeli bombing raid. The boy himself had been dragged from the scene with an injured left arm, which was later amputated. “A week later, I met the other side of Khalil,” Gilbert said. “Khalil had

Rutgers Glee Club gears up for Homecoming concert MAEGAN KAE SUNAZ STAFF WRITER
Being a member of the Rutgers University Glee Club has taught Ben Mather more than just how to sing, including professional skills like the proper way to wear a tuxedo. “You learn to be organized and how to do time management, so you’re always ready for the next concert while balancing everything else in your life,” said Mather, a School of Arts and Sciences senior and the Club’s public relations manager.
Zack Jaffe, a Rutgers Business School junior and Glee Club member, said the Club’s rich history makes the members proud to be a part of it. Established in 1872, the Rutgers University Glee Club is one of the oldest student-run organizations in University history. They will perform during Saturday’s homecoming game and will then have a concert at the Kirkpatrick Chapel at 7:30 p.m. in collaboration with the Kirkpatrick Choir. SEE CLUB ON PAGE 5
Last night, Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, prisoners and pirates sprinted down College Avenue — all in the name of Scarlet spirit. To kick off Homecoming weekend, the Rutgers University Programming Association and the Rutgers University Alumni Association sponsored the seventh annual “Homecoming Charity Bed Races.” A total of 61 organizations participated in yesterday’s event. Each organization decorates a bed with an appropriate theme and selects four members — three pushers and one rider — to race other beds down College Avenue, starting in front of Bishop Quads, passing the College Avenue Student Center and finishing in front of Brower Commons. RUPA encouraged each participating organization to donate at least 300 diapers to Cuddle Me Diaper Bank, said Jennifer Holt, assistant director of traditions and community at RUPA. The Division of Student Affairs provided these organizations with beds. The teams were judged by five categories: speed, the amount of collected diapers, the racers’ costumes, the bed’s decoration and the most spirited. Teams were awarded by individual categories and best overall performance.
Theta Tau, a co-ed professional engineering fraternity, won first place overall and donated the most diapers, said Ryan Griffith, director of RUPA’s Outreach Committee. Iota Phi Theta fraternity won second place overall and first place for speed. The College Avenue Student Center staff won third place overall. Dressed as characters from the hit TV show “Orange is the New Black,” the sorority Sigma Lambda Gamma scored the award for best costume, Griffith said. The fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon won the award for the best decorated bed, and Livingston Theater Costume was deemed the most spirited. “Homecoming Charity Bed Races” became a Rutgers tradition in 2007, with only 15 teams participating. Now that participation has more than quadrupled, hundreds of students had gathered at 9 p.m. last night to watch this year’s event. “It’s a really cool tradition,” Holt said. “It brings the whole community together, and it’s for charity, so I think it’s a lot of fun.” As a cosponsoring organization, RUAA’s bed was the first to team to race. When the event began, the teams collected enough diapers to help more than 350 children. Last year, the Rutgers community helped more than 32,000 children by raising a record 26,000 diapers for the cause. Holt and the rest of the RUPA team hopes to beat last year’s numbers.

Student spends summer at Vatican Observatory School for research DAN COREY CONTRIBUTING WRITER
After submitting an application and two letters of recommendation, Rutgers graduate student John Wu spent this past summer as one-half of the people accepted into the Vatican Observatory Summer School from the United States. Wu, a graduate research assistant, has managed to put his vast scientific knowledge to use in Castel Gandolfo within the Vatican City State. In Europe, Wu, along with 24 other students from 22 other countries, attended the prestigious VOSS program while residing with his colleagues in a nearby hotel, located 20 minutes south of Rome. Wu had never been to Europe and said his primary reason for attending VOSS was for academic research purposes. “[I] went for the purpose of studying galaxy evolution and formation with some invited faculty from institutions around the world,” Wu said. “There was a big emphasis on international collaboration and cultural enrichment of being able to work with people from around the world. It was something that I had never done.” Working at the Department of Physics and Astronomy within the School of Arts and Sciences, Wu was driven by his interest in astrophysics during his time at the Vatican. “Just as most scientists and definitely physicists, [we] really like to strike at the fundamentals of why anything does what it does. As an astrophysicist, I care about why the universe exists as it does,” Wu said. He added that the diverse nature of galaxies and its inability to be fully accessed make it a difficult area to study. Along with Rachel Mandelbaum, his undergraduate adviser from Carnegie Mellon University, Wu credited Andrew Baker, associate professor at the Rutgers Department of
Physics and Astronomy, for helping him get accepted into VOSS. While both individuals supplemented his “standard application” with letters of recommendation, it was Baker who encouraged Wu to apply to the program. “The particular theme of this year’s school — ‘Galaxies: Near and Far, Young and Old’— was a good match for John’s background and interests, so I thought he’d be able to get a lot out of the school if he were able to attend it,” Baker said. In addition to his advisers in the U.S., Wu also impressed Brother Guy Consolmagno, S.J., planetary scientist, research astronomer and coordinator for public relations at the Vatican Observatory. “John was an excellent addition to our school,” Consolmagno said. “His knowledge and enthusiasm for astronomy was infectious, and I saw first hand how the way he shared his own multicultural heritage helped a lot of the other students, who themselves came from so many different backgrounds.” While it is true that he would frequently spend 12 to 14 hour days working at the Vatican Observatory, Wu was also able to enjoy being in Italy during his time off on the weekends. He and his colleagues visited the cities of Rome, Florence and Assisi, though he did not venture out of Italy. Despite the obvious religious affiliation with the Vatican and his once-in-a-lifetime “amazing” private audience with Pope Francis, Wu and the Vatican Observatory kept to the scientific tasks at hand. “[Religion] is a bit of a confounding variable, in terms of how it impacts my scientific output. There isn’t much I could or would do to entail the two,” Wu said. “The whole time, though, the Vatican Observatory was all science.” On a typical day, Wu would walk with his colleagues from their hotel to the Observatory to attend various lectures, discussions and open fo-
rums in the mornings. Only taking actual breaks for meals, they would continue to work on any of the research projects they were involved in. Wu, in particular, was working on three. As taxing as his work was, he maintained motivation and a positive attitude because he loved what he was doing. Wu’s analysis of Hubble Telescope data and the changes in the cosmic Red Shift would hopefully allow him to discover or refine theories within the study of our universe. “The work that we did had some good results, and a lot of it looks really promising,” Wu said. “[We’re] hoping to publish a journal article some time in the future. We’ve got our fingers crossed.” Although he appreciated time spent conducting galactic research at the prestigious Vatican Observatory, Wu was mainly concerned about scientific research and analysis for academia’s sake. Unlike many individuals, he does not and will not stop trying to make sense of the universe because he is not only insatiably curious, but he loves being involved in this field. His dream is to become a professor, which will be aided by his travels of the world. “You need to have a very broadened mind and perspective of things, not only with science but with culture. That gives you more to draw from just in having different modes of thinking … It’s a good way of becoming a better scientist,” Wu said.

Friedrich Schiller being showcased at Philip J. Levin Theater on Douglass campus. The play is a youthful, passionate and harrowing story of hope and betrayal between the son of a powerful politician and a musician’s daughter. RUOXUAN YANG

In the picture, Gilbert described the boy as “naked, unwanted and motherless.” In the second, the boy is dressed and smiling, free of bandages. A third picture showed the hands of doctors as they taught him how to dress his own wounds. “We were these anonymous hands facilitating the capacity of Khalil to manage himself,” he said.
They will sing the “Rutgers Alma Mater,” “Star Spangled Banner,” “Fight Song,” as well as a variety of classical repertoire, Jaffe said. “We’ll be singing at the Kirkpatrick Chapel, which is not only beautiful and has incredible acoustics, but it’s also New Jersey’s landmark,” he said. Jaffe has always been involved in music, whether instrumentally, chorally or musical theater. “Music has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember,” he said. “When I saw an opportunity in Rutgers to continue that path I’ve been on, the Glee Club had been the perfect fit.” Jaffe originally became involved with the Glee Club for it’s musical component but found that it has a fantastic social atmosphere, offering “friendship, brotherhood and camaraderie.” Other than the bonds created through singing, the club holds events, like game nights that foster engagement with one another. Jaffe said it has something called the “rookie/maestro” pairing that is equivalent to fraternities’ and sororities’ “big/ little” pairing. “We play a football game every year against the marching band called ‘The Souperbowl,’ named after the third director of the Glee Club, Austin ‘Soup’ Walter,” Jaffe said. Tim Lenz, a School of Engineering junior and member of the organization, said the Glee
Club attracts people with various interests who are united through their common passion for singing. There is a diverse spread of majors within the group, ranging from mechanical engineering to English. The group meets twice a week for several hours and then is able to go back to their residence halls and practice. Members have a range of musical skills, and Lenz said dif ferent members have to put in different degrees of ef fort. Some students come in knowing how to read music and others do not, but they all work toward the end goal of producing the optimum sound. Achieving the sound the director wants is likely one of the biggest challenges in performing, Mather said. The instructions can sometimes be difficult to understand, but when applied, they improve the sound immensely. One of Mather’s favorite moments in Glee Club occured last year, when they hosted the Intercollegiate Men’s Choruses. College choirs from around country as well as one from Czechoslovakia attended the event. Jacob Ohring, School of Arts and Sciences junior and president of the Glee Club, said what remains unchanged is their love to perform great music. They’ve been here and will continue to be here for at least another 250 years. “Our motto is ‘ever changing yet eternally the same,’” he said. “We’ve been here for so long, but we haven’t changed.”

HEALTH Considering health outcomes should serve as “new norm” in governing bodies, Ottersen says CONTINUED FROM FRONT
“Many interventions … are fragile and tenuous,” Ottersen said. The commission did not only look at health-related political policy, but at seven different sectors of governance. Ottersen believes health should be a premise of all decisions. One topic of study was food security and agriculture. They found in India, for example, agricultural trade agreements led to more unhealthy food and the replacement of domestic crops with international one. The policies most likely caused the food crisis of 2007 and 2008. “There must be institutions that can restrict the use of financial instruments linked to commodity prices,” Ottersen said, since these appear to have a direct effect on health. He described the conflict between corporations and health institutions, such as the conflict between Uruguay and tobacco corporations on whether to add explicit images to packaging. The conflict shows that certain transnational corporations are more powerful than individual nations, he said. Several government dysfunctions can cause major health outcomes, he said. Little accountability, weak institutions and institutional “stickiness” or reluctance to change policies are contributors to health issues.
These common denominators give policy makers and academics a starting point to evaluate future decisions. “If we are to make a difference, we should be vigilant and we should try to capture processes before it’s too late,” he said. Countries need an independent monitoring system to identify inequalities that are avoidable by political means, he said. Most importantly, considering health outcomes should be the “new norm” in governing bodies. The commission plans to continue this mission with the establishment of a panel and advisory board that will meet in December, he said. Mark Aakhus, associate professor in the Department of Communication, said Ottersen studied the political determinants of health. Although society has made great strides in health systems over the years, he said, it still had some issues. Stephanie Perez, program coordinator for the Centers for Global Advancement and International Affairs, said Ottersen’s lecture was part of a two-year theme of global health. The program aimed to establish a connection between communication, medical and other professionals, she said. “Now is the perfect time to bring [Ottersen] because he will bring a lot to the conversation we’re trying to have,” she said.

Halloween costumes made easy with quick makeup hacks RACHEL NAROZNIAK CONTRIBUTING WRITER
While seeing others sporting the same costume on Halloween is inevitable, stand out from the crowd of ghouls and goblins this year with Inside Beat’s list of the top nine Halloween makeup hacks. These’ll make you look “scarily” good.
SUGAR SKULL FACE PAINT:
Reminiscent of calaveras from the Mexican Day of the Dead, the Sugar Skull is one of the most popular, yet individualistic, Halloween makeup looks. Look-wearers are encouraged to use creativity to produce colorful, intricate designs — no Sugar Skull look is the same. To maximize your design and minimize the difficulty of creating this look, use stencils. Craft stores sell them in a variety of shapes and sizes, and stencils provide the clean, symmetrical patterns characteristic of the Sugar Skull
style. They can also be cut to double the amount of design options. Trace the stencils with an eye pencil to mark the shape’s outline, and fill in with face paint.
SKY-HIGH LASHES
Halloween is no longer just an evening affair, but a weekend-long event. While you may need multiple costumes, fortunately, there are ways to recycle with makeup. Reuse false eyelashes, which can be worn up to 10 times after the first use. Clean them in rubbing alcohol or gently with soap and water.
MERMAID SKIN
Make a mermaid costume more authentic with scaly skin. Take a fishnet stocking and place your arm inside. Lightly dampen your arm with a wet washcloth. Then, take a makeup sponge and dab it in shades of metallic grey, green and blue cream eye shadow. Gently press a makeup sponge onto your fishnet-covered
arm multiple times in different areas. Carefully remove the fishnet to unveil scaly skin underneath.
KISS OF DEATH
Forget the messy blood capsules needed for every vampire and vampiress costume — instead, use a red lip stain pen to neatly draw fang marks and blood trails. Bonus: Use the lip stain on lips instead of lipstick. (Lip stain’s pigment will stay bright all night and won’t leave stain marks on teeth.)
SPIDER WEB EYES
For those looking to channel their inner black widow, use an eyeliner pen or black cream eye pencil to frame one eye in a black cobweb. Get a more professional look by using a ruler to trace even, parallel spider web lines. Be creative with the shaping and placement of the cobweb.

For maximum hold that will last through the night, apply a small amount of eyelash glue, or even Elmer’s glue, to the back of the rhinestones with a bobby pin. Both adhesives are strong and skin-safe.

BRONZED GODDESS
Almost everyone would like to be tan all year long, but a bronzed look can be especially important for certain costumes, such as the common Grecian Goddess. Avoid harmful tanning beds and orange-tinted spray tans, and instead, opt for a tinted body lotion for a glowing complexion. For an extra glow, mix highlighter into concealer.

WEEK IN REVIEW: Laurels and Darts CARRY THAT WEIGHT
ADMINISTRATION FRUSTRATION
Students worked hard to bring the “Carry the Weight” campaign to Rutgers, and the daylong event was a huge success. Beyond carrying mattresses to symbolize the weight carried by survivors of sexual assault, these students and organizations also educated their peers about the issue. We laurel the students and organizations for their hard work to raise awareness, and we also hope our student body recognizes the importance of the issue by participating in the iSPEAK campus climate survey on sexual assault.
Just in case we weren’t already frustrated by the administration and its inaccessibility, it decided that it’s just going to leave campus altogether. There are talks to merge the administrations of Rutgers and UMDNJ in a building off-campus, about two miles away from Busch. This dart goes to a terrible idea that is only going to add to the already-growing sense of alienation among students, faculty and the administration.
SNAPCHAT SNUB Snapchat is our favorite new social media platform, especially with its recent additions of Snapchat stories that feature dif ferent events and locations around the world. But so far, for some reason that we cannot understand, not a single stor y has been featured at Rutgers. This dar t goes to Snapchat for taking so long to recognize the personality and energy that defines Rutgers.

MOOLAH FOR EBOLA Rutgers has a long-standing academic partnership with the University of Liberia, whose president is a former Rutgers professor — and in the face of Liberia’s current Ebola crisis, Rutgers is stepping up to help out. Headed by a current Rutgers professor, the University has set up a GoFundMe page with a fundraising goal of $50,000, specifically for protective gear and medical supplies for doctors and nurses who are treating Ebola on the ground. The page has already raised more than $10,000, and we laurel such a commendable effort.
NO. 1 FOODIES Rutgers is ranked No. 1 in Food Management magazine, ahead of all the other schools in the Big Ten and even the Ivy Leagues. Since the dining halls (except for Brower Commons) went trayless at the beginning of this semester, the benefits have been undeniable. Waste has been reduced by about 30 percent, and the dining halls were able to save $131,000 in the first week of the initiative alone. We laurel the University Dining Services for their excellent management.
YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN, KIDS Campus safety is just becoming more and more of a problem. This week, we got a crime alert about a student who was robbed at gunpoint on Mine Street at around 6 p.m. — not the usual middle-ofthe-night muggings we’ve kind of gotten accustomed to hearing. The Daily Targum editorial office is right on Mine Street, so that hits extremely close to home for us. But even besides that, the College Avenue campus is also right around the corner from where this happened. This dart goes to an increasingly unsafe environment on and around campus.

Clearing the air on ‘Carrying the Weight’ campaign COMMENTARY KAILA BOULWARE
T
he “Carr ying the Weight” campaign was a huge success at Rutgers. I appreciate the coverage from The Daily Targum in the action — however, there are some things that needed to be mentioned, but were not included in the article. The article only covered the march aspect of the daylong action. Thank you so much to the Office of Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance for all of your help with making the campaign successful in such a short period of time. The march was a great part of the action, but it was not the only part. From 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., student volunteers were standing at the steps of Brower Commons and in front of Douglass Student Center passing out resource sheets, talking about the campaign and getting signatures from students who pledged to do their part in creating and maintaining a campus that is free of sexual violence. The resource sheets, made by Women Organizing Against Harassment, have important information
on ser vices for sur vivors of violence. On the back of the resource sheet is a definition of enthusiastic consent, which is the idea that consent between people should be clear and understandable before engaging in sex. Thanks to the efforts of the volunteers, we were able to distribute over 700 resource sheets to students. The pledges had five statements on ways that students pledged to decrease the incidence of sexual assault
Douglass Residential College, Speak Out: Exploring Womanhood, Rutgers University Students Assembly, Sigma Psi Zeta, Women’s Center Coalition, Douglass Friends of UNFPA and Rutgers Residence Life. There were also many more organizations, staff and faculty that sent email blasts to students informing them about the campaign. One of the most frustrating aspects of the article was the failure to mention Woman Organizing
“The march was a great part of the action, but it was not the only part … student volunteers were standing at the steps of Brower Commons and in front of Douglass Student Center passing out resource sheets [and] talking about the campaign.” on campus, including inter vening when a friend is in a dangerous situation, speaking up when people use language or jokes that perpetuate rape culture and working to create a supportive environment for sur vivors. The article also failed to mention the numerous organizations besides VPVA that put efforts into making this action a success. These organizations include: Women Organizing Against Harassment,
Against Harassment. They had a huge role in the planning and execution of the action, and as the student organization on campus whose mission it is to address these issues, the fact that they were not included speaks to lack of research that was done on the groundwork that it took to organize the campaign. Students who participated in the action carried their mattress all over campus — to class, on the bus, to work, everywhere.
The weight of those mattresses is heavy and symbolizes the weight that survivors carry around everyday. That was a major part of the action that was left out. The fact that we organized this action in six days speaks to the incredible dedication and support that the students had for this action. I am appreciative of the work that was done by the Rutgers departments that were mentioned in the article. But the students were the driving force behind making the action a success. There was a Facebook event called “Help Rutgers Carry the Weight” that listed all of the organizations involved. It also shows over 200 students that participated in the action and contains information on all of the happenings that were going on that day. Thank you to the Targum for covering this action. It was very important for me to tell the Rutgers community the facts that were left out of the article, and I appreciate you for allowing me to voice my opinion. Kaila Boulware is a School of Ar ts and Sciences senior majoring in public health in the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. She is also a Douglass Residential College student and the head organizer for the “Carrying the Weight” event at Rutgers.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Equine therapy useful for children and adults Throughout my time at Rutgers, I have learned so much about horses and how they are more than just farm animals. Many people, including myself, know or care for someone deemed “disabled.” This term is so broad and can include a multitude of situations, such as autism, learning disabilities, physical disabilities (cerebral palsy) or disability from traumatic events. Today, there are many different forms of therapy used to help these individuals. One that was particularly interesting to me was equine assisted therapy. To further explore this interest, Dr. Julie Fagan, an associate professor of animal science at Rutgers University, and I, along with another group member, are researching the benefits of equine assisted therapy in children and young adults suffering from disabilities. My partner and I created a survey to find out more information from the parents and guardians on one particular therapy farm, Celtic Charms, in Howell, New Jersey. The survey was handed out during the lessons, and from the results we have received, many of the parents and guardians not only see the benefits in their children’s communication, cognitive and physical abilities and behavior, but are also advocates for the program. I personally went to the Health and Recreation through Horses’ Horse Show hosted by the Special Olympics earlier this month. This
“
show was only for riders with special needs. It was amazing to see how confident and happy these children and young adults were when they were working with their horses. Our research will be published in the near future, and if there are any questions or interests, please feel free to contact me. Dana Magee is a School of Environmental and Biological sciences senior majoring in animal science with a focus on equine science.
Explore alternative method for research I would like to discuss an alternative method for cancer research. When we hear about research related to diseases like cancer, we tend to imagine the study being done in a laboratory setting where little rodents are the cancer models. Although scientists have learned many things about cancer by using rodent cancer models like rat and mice, they have not unlocked the full potential of cancer research because they rely too often on these models. A better model for cancer research is the dog because of the nature of cancer in dogs. Dogs tend to get cancer naturally much like humans do. However, cancer is induced in rodents like rat and mice. Therefore, the artificial cancer is not as effective for cancer studies as naturally occurring cancer in dogs. In fact, some drugs that cure cancers in lab rodents do not cure similar cancers in humans. Dog cancers have shown similar characteristics to cancers in humans. Os-
teosarcoma in dogs tends to have similar skeletal location and aggressiveness to osteosarcoma in humans. Unfortunately, there is little data on cancer research in dogs. A good start would be to research cancer-causing factors in dogs by integrating citizen science, where pet owners get involved in the study. Dr. Julie Fagan, an associate research professor at Rutgers University, and undergraduate researchers have started studying various factors (diet, exercise and environment) that play a role in canine cancer. A program, currently under development, will provide guidelines for pet owners who volunteer for this study to control certain variables and record the appropriate data about their dogs.

Strategies to deal with water contamination should be addressed Although the effects of water supply contamination from aquaculture are increasingly recognized, they are point sources for just a small proportion to land-based pollutants. The nutrient-rich waste may cause eutrophication, a condition that occurs when a high concentration of nitrogen or phosphorus is in the waterway and causes an excessive growth of algae. The toxic algae blooms would reduce the wa-
ter clarity and deplete dissolved oxygen, which is called the hypoxia environment or the “dead” zone. This environmental condition kills fish and other aerobic species in water. The wastewater discharged with a high concentration of N or P could flow around and cause problems both locally and downstream. The aquaculture waste dramatically changes the environment, and the environment degradation lasts for a long time, which makes the pollution issue more complex. The continuous wastewater discharge without treatments could lead to the remarkable elevation of the total organic matter contents and cause considerable economic lost. The factors that affect the quality and quantity of aquaculture waste include culture system characteristics, the choice of species, the feed quality management and, also, the waste treatment strategies. Rutgers University professor Dr. Julie Fagan and student researchers, myself included, are conducting a research study on the aquaculture waste and water pollution. We plan to arrange an online seminar system, which will utilize the crowd wisdom of the general public, to educate the large industrial polluters on how to feed fish and manage wastewater properly. Also, we will collect consequences of polluted aquifer system as case studies to encourage the industrial polluters to run their businesses properly and be friendly to the environment. Qi Zhang is a Rutgers University student majoring in environmental science.
QUOTE OF THE DAY Music has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember.

CHANCE
BERTH
Hawkeyes rank last in Big Ten Conference in opponent hitting percentage, digs
Hellman leads Indiana with 13 goals, five assists for 31 points this season
CONTINUED FROM BACK assists per set. But while the statistical improvement is there, it still has not equated into any wins for the Knights. This is due to the fact that Rutgers has been unable to finish out close sets when it needs to, which largely falls upon its execution. “We need to keep up our fundamentals, and ever yone needs to work together to improve in all areas of the game so we can compete with these Big Ten teams,” said sophomore middle blocker Lauren Cloyd. “We were so close this past week against Mar yland. It just comes down to those last-minute points and not finishing well.” The closer the Knights get to a victor y, the more impor tant their late-game execution becomes. It will be put to the test again this weekend against Nebraska and Iowa. The Cornhuskers enter the weekend following a loss to Wisconsin last Sunday, but they have been one of the Big Ten’s more consistent teams. With a style of play similar to that of Michigan State, Nebraska ranks fifth in the Big Ten in opponent hitting percentage (.180), third in blocks per set (2.81) and second in digs per set (14.72). Their defensive prowess will cer tainly challenge the Knights on of fense, which will be
one of the key matchups to follow in the game. As for the Hawkeyes, they represent the better chance for Rutgers to come away with a win this weekend. Iowa ranks last in the Big Ten in opponent hitting percentage (.230) and digs per set (12.11), which should allow the Knights’ offense to operate more freely around the court. Both teams present styles of play Rutgers is familiar with by now, which should aid them in getting off to a strong start in both games. But it will come down to how the Knights execute once each set reaches 20 points. How they fare in late game situations will determine their success or failure this weekend, and Werneke knows it. “It’s a combination of a little bit of luck, being comfortable in tight situations and executing,” Werneke said. “We’re right there when it comes to these three things, and we know that. Now, it comes down to how we respond and hold up. There’s a lot of season left, and how we hold up physically and mentally is yet to be determined. We understand that and are making adjustments in practice to keep the players fresh, and we’ll see how it plays out.” For updates on the Rutgers volleyball team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.
CONTINUED FROM BACK players a bit more confidence. The Hoosiers started the season 7-0 but since then have struggled. They have played eight of their last nine games against a ranked opponent. In that stretch, they have gone 2-7, beating No. 4 Duke and No. 20 Michigan State. Indiana currently rides a four-game losing streak. The only way the Hoosiers make the Big Ten Tournament is with a win. With that in mind, it’s expected they will give Rutgers their best shot. Indiana will look to its of fensive playmaker Audra Hellman, who has posted impressive numbers this year with 13 goals, 5 assists and 31 points. Hellman has been a catalyst on with the ball on her stick, and the Hoosiers expect her to generate some opportunities in front of the net. Despite the high pressure building around this game, Long believes her team is fit for the challenge. “This group has been in high pressure situations that we’ve gained a lot of valuable experience from,” she said. On Sunday, the Knights take on the University of Pennsylvania (77). The Quakers’ schedule has not been as difficult as Rutgers’ due to a relatively weaker level of competition in the Ivy League. In their only matchup against a

ranked team, they were blown out 9-0 against No. 2 Maryland. Sophomore Jasmine Cole is going up against a team she led last year in so many offensive categories. She looks to spark Rutgers in any way she can against her former squad. “I definitely want to win,” Cole said. “I’m going to be pumped. It’s going to be awkward to play them because I played with them for a year.” For Rutgers’ senior captains Jenn Staab and Sophie Wright, it will be Senior Day and possibly
the last game either ever plays as a Knight. Emotions will be high, but they plan to maintain them and play a strong game, especially if they come off a win on Friday. “We will reset and focus for that game on Saturday,” Long said. “They are a good team with quality players. It’s Senior Day for us, so there is a lot on the line for us in that game.” For updates on the Rutgers field hockey team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

October 31, 2014 CROSS COUNTRY BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS
RU prepares for first Big Ten Championships in inaugural year MIKE O’SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
With all of the hype surrounding conference realignment, the Rutgers cross country teams will get their first taste of Big Ten action on Sunday, as they compete in the Big Ten Championships in Iowa City. After competing in many races to prepare for the Big Ten meet, the Scarlet Knights will have a steep challenge in their first race in the new conference. On the men’s side, the Big Ten has four teams ranked nationally in the top-30, including Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Michigan State. The women’s field is very similar, as the team will face five ranked teams in the Big Ten Championships, which include the nation’s top ranked team, Michigan State, along with Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Minnesota. The Knights will certainly be in for a challenge, and men’s head coach Mike Mulqueen is focusing more on his team’s performance as a whole rather than being concerned with the competition.
FINISH
“[We] just want to keep improving,” he said. “With this team being so young and inexperienced, they do not know what to expect, except to run hard and keep improving.” During his 36-year tenure at the helm for Rutgers, Mulqueen has been a part of four major conferences and knows the Big Ten might provide the biggest challenge for his program. “It is always exciting to see new teams,” he said. “The Big Ten is one of the top-three conferences in the countr y for cross countr y and track and field, so it is exciting to be going into something completely new for us. We will do our best.” His team shares his excitement, as the build to the Big Ten meet has been a focal point of the season. Sophomore Sam Habib is intrigued to see not only how the team performs on Sunday, but also to be a part of the school’s first team competing in the Big Ten. “It’s interesting because I never thought that I would get to this level of competition before,” he said. “It’s amazing with the opportunities

It’s going to be a big deal, and I’m happy to be a part of it first.” The women’s team has also been ramping up the intensity of their practices leading up to the Big Ten Championships, as they prepare for their biggest meet of the season to date. Similar to Mulqueen, women’s head coach James Robinson hopes his team can stay focused on their own race and tr y to block out the competition. “We know how tough this conference is,” he said. “Our main focus … is to not focus so much on the finish, but focus more on [our] ability to run faster this race than prior races. As long as we keep doing that, the results will take care of [themselves].” He has also seen his share of conference realignment during his seasons at Rutgers after graduating from the university in 1995 and becoming an assistant coach and a head coach soon after. Being a part of the Big Ten is meaningful, Robinson said, and he is happy to be the one to lead

WOMEN’S SOCCER NO. 23 RUTGERS-OHIO STATE, TONIGHT, 7 P.M.
Rutgers eyes No. 4 seed at Ohio State GARRETT STEPIEN CORRESPONDENT
After an 11-1-1 start highlighted by a statement win over then-No. 7 Penn State, it seemed as if the Rutgers women’s soccer team was poised to make a run and seize the Big Ten regular season crown. But ever since that glorious win in Happy Valley, things have been anything but joyous. The Scarlet Knights squeezed out a comefrom-behind win over Illinois in their first game back in action, followed by three losses in a row. The lack of offensive production has been an ongoing problem as of late for No. 23 Rutgers (11-4-1, 7-41). The Knights haven’t registered a goal in three games dating back to Oct. 17 and have been outscored 4-0 by the likes of lowly Northwestern, then-No. 12 Wisconsin and an average Minnesota team. Despite the recent struggles, Mike O’Neill hasn’t hit the panic button just yet. With one last game remaining on the regular season schedule at Ohio State (6-9-3, 3-63) Friday night, the first-year head coach sees a perfect opportunity for his team to get back to its winning ways. “The thing that I’m looking for the most is consistency because over the past game and a half, we’ve been very consistent in our soccer,” O’Neill said. “So if we have that consistency and we continue to play good soccer, we’re going to continue to create opportunities. And then when we create the opportunities, [we] just want them to take a deep breath, composure, no pressure, slide it home.” Entering this weekend tied for fourth in the Big Ten with Iowa and Minnesota, the always complicated yet interesting scenario game comes into play for how Rutgers can lock up the No. 4 seed for the Big Ten Tournament at Purdue.
Due to the head-to-head advantage over Iowa from the 1-0 win earlier in the season, a Rutgers win and a Minnesota loss or draw would clinch the conference’s No. 4 seed. If the three teams post the same result over the weekend — win, loss or draw — the Knights receive the upper hand as a result of a third tiebreaker for points against teams seeded above the trio of tied teams. But entering the season finale in Columbus, Ohio, Rutgers has refused to worry about what Minnesota and Iowa might do this weekend. Instead, the focus
“I think the bottom line is we’re going to finish our opportunities this weekend. ... We’re going to win this game.” BRIANNE REED Junior backer
around the team has centered on how it can improve from the previous match and better itself for the approaching postseason. Junior backer Erica Skroski discussed how the team has gotten back to basics. With the build up of the final match of the 2014 regular season slate in mind, the co-captain expects her teammates to rise to the occasion and rebound at the right time to establish momentum into the postseason. “I just think everyone on this team knows what we’re capable of. And we have been playing well — it’s not that we haven’t,” Skroski said. “We just haven’t been finishing our opportunities, and I think everyone this weekend is just going to come out ready to go … We want to go into the tournament on
our game, so I think everyone’s just really going to be excited, and I think it’s just going to be a really good game for everyone.” Despite the recent struggles on offense, the defense, statistically, continues to advertise itself as one of the best in the country. The Knights rank 11th in goals allowed average and 18th in save percentage (.852) behind freshman goalkeeper Casey Murphy. Hosting their Senior Day and needing one more win along with a Maryland loss or draw to sneak into the Big Ten Tournament as the No. 8 seed, the Buckeyes are expected to hit Rutgers with their best shot. Forward Sammy Edwards leads a middle-of-the-pack Buckeyes scoring offense with a team-best six goals and 13 points on 15 shots in her freshman campaign. But while the defense for Rutgers will be expected to stand its ground as always with a rejuvenated Ohio State attack, the difference-maker rests on the question of whether the offense will finally step up and capitalize on its scoring chances. Although the theme seemed redundant, the belief that the Knights will take advantage of all opportunities when they enter the McClimon Complex was embedded into the mind of each player. “I think bottom line is we’re going to finish our opportunities this weekend,” said junior backer Brianne Reed. “Yes, we’ve let in goals, but that doesn’t mean we’re not doing what we’re supposed to do defensively. We’re organized. [Opponents have] had a few lucky goals, [but] we’re going to get back to getting our shutouts. We’re going to get back to scoring goals, and we’re going to win this game.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

This will be the first time in years that the Rutgers wrestling team hosts a quad meet at home, and the first time many of the Scarlet Knights’ grapplers have wrestled in one since high school. But with the shift in conferences from the EIWA to the Big Ten and a renewed mindset overall after head coach Scott Goodale’s first All-American, things are changing around for the Rutgers program. So with the Knights set to host the Rutgers Duals this Sunday, it offers a chance for a few new things to the start of the season. But most importantly, it offers a chance to wrestle someone who is not wearing the same singlet. “I haven’t wrestled a quad meet since high school. It’s going to bring back the high school days memories,” said sophomore 174-pounder Phil Bakuckas. “I’m pretty pumped to actually wrestle three matches and get in the zone a little bit instead of just wrestling one match and being done. I can keep going, work on my moves a little bit and get better. I’m looking forward to it.” Still, as exciting as it is to grapple with another program for the first time in a season — in the case of Sunday, Rutgers will wrestle against three Division III programs — it still serves in other ways, too. While the wrestle-of fs are exciting and of fer a chance to prepare for dual-competition in a sense of weighing in, planning the day and scrapping in front of a crowd in a way that training in the wrestling room cannot still falls shor t in the realm of competition. When going up against a teammate, wrestlers become anxious and may hold something back,
head coach Scott Goodale admitted about the wrestle-offs. But he said this Sunday brings a whole different atmosphere. “It’s another chance to get down to weight, and it’s not a stressful situation — it’s three dual-meets against three Division III schools,” Goodale said. “I think it will get our guys the opportunity to wrestle some other people and not just put them right in an open tournament — which, believe it or not, can be a meat grinder. We felt our guys were getting beat up by that, so we just wanted three dual-meets where they are guaranteed three matches and just get ready for the season.” The three schools that will come to New Brunswick this weekend are Centenary, Delaware Valley and Stevens Institute of Technology. Rutgers will have the opportunity to wrestle all three schools at various times during the day at the College Avenue Gym. “The Barn” will have two mats, as opposed to the usual one-mat setup. The Knights will wrestle Centenary at 10 a.m., Delaware Valley at noon and Stevens at 2 p.m. With all three dual-meets going on in one day, junior 157-pounder Anthony Perrotti is optimistic to open up the season on a high note against some lower-caliber opponents. “It’s going to be impor tant, a nice tune up and we can wrestle in front of some fans,” said junior 157-pounder Anthony Perrotti. “We can get used to going out on the mats and wrestling another opponent. I think it’s going to be pretty fun and it’s going to be good. We’re looking to win all these matches, ever y single one of them.” For updates on the Rutgers wrestling team, follow @TargumSports and @TylerKaralewich on Twitter.

Nebraska, Iowa offer chance for conference win
Knights eye Big Ten playoff berth with win
CONOR NORDLAND STAFF WRITER

It has been more than one month since the Rutgers volleyball team played in its first Big Ten match. Ten conference games have been played since then, all ending in the same result. For the Scarlet Knights (7-16, 0-10), losing has become a common theme. There has been little sense of urgency among the coaching staff and players to earn a win. The Knights have reiterated all season long that they will continue to focus on self-improvement and working on their own game, no matter how long it takes to get a victory. But the Knights feel confident this is their weekend to take, starting with Nebraska (12-7, 6-4) on Friday and Iowa (9-12, 1-9) on Saturday. “I’ve told them how we have been playing better recently,” said head coach CJ Werneke. “Despite our situation in losing one of our top players from the first match to the second, we overcame that and played better in our second match against Maryland than we did in the first, which shows how close we are to winning our first Big Ten match.” The Knights have shown improvement in a number of statistical areas over the past five games. Since playing Minnesota, when the Knights averaged only 6.0 kills per set and 5.3 assists per set, there have been major signs of progression. In its last contest against Maryland, Rutgers finished the game with a 12.2 kills per set average, along with averaging 11.4

The last weekend of the regular season is here, and everything the Rutgers field hockey team has worked toward to make the Big Ten tournament comes down to its performance on Friday. Rutgers (7-9, 1-6) is in a three-way tie for last place in the conference with Ohio State (6-10, 1-6) and Indiana (9-7, 1-6). Only two of the three will make the Big Ten tournament. If the Knights beat the Hoosiers on Friday, they’re in. If they lose, it becomes a bit more complex. They would need a Michigan win over Ohio State to get in. Rutgers holds the tiebreaker over the Buckeyes after a 3-2 win earlier this season. But for the Knights it’s simple: Win, and they’re in. “We want to put our fate in our own hands,” said head coach Meredith Long. “We have prepared well and know what to expect and are ready to compete.” Rutgers will have key contributor and sophomore captain Alyssa Bull back for this weekend. She missed the games last weekend due to injury but was a full participant this week in practice. “We need to come out on fire, and we need to win,” Bull said, stressing the importance of Friday’s game. “We don’t want to leave it up to any other teams. I want to get it done with on Friday.” The Scarlet Knights beat Indiana last season, 1-0, which Long feels will give her Sophomore goalkeeper David Greczek said the Knights believe they have plenty left to play for and can end the season strong, starting tonight against Bradley.

Rutgers pushes for strong home finish SEAN STEWART ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Friday night’s contest against reigning Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Champion Bradley at Yurcak Field holds very little significance for the Rutgers men’s soccer team. With just two regular season games remaining, the Scarlet Knights’ postseason fate has already been sealed. The Knights will be the No. 8 seed in the upcoming Big Ten conference tournament, and with a 5-9-1 record and 73 RPI ranking, they will need to win it all if they are to have any aspirations of NCAA Tournament play.

A win against the Braves (7-9), who rank a measly 144th in the RPI, no matter how convincing, will not alter the sizeable task at hand. While the game provides little in terms of statistical relevance, head coach Dan Donigan still feels the matchup can serve as warm-up for next Wednesday’s highly anticipated clash against Maryland. “Psychologically, you want to go into that Maryland game with a win,” Donigan said. “So [I] want to [have the mentality of treating] this [game as] very important … and put a value on the game. I mean, every game has value for us. That’s how you have to approach it as a player, as a team, as a coach — you SEE FINISH ON PAGE 16
