Professor gets nomination for contribution to public history NIDHI PATEL CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The oft-discussed Rutgers versus Penn State game drew an audience of nearly 54,000 people. But even more people come to the “New Jersey Folk Festival,” the brainchild of Rutgers professor Angus Kress Gillespie. For more than 40 years, generations of New Jersey families have made it an annual tradition to come to Rutgers to join 50,000 other people for this festival. In November, Gillespie, a professor in the Department of American Studies, will receive the New Jersey Historical Commission’s 2014 Richard J. Hughes Award for contributions to the scholarly and public history of New Jersey. Michael Rockland, recipient of the New Jersey Historical Commission’s 2013 award, nominated Gillespie for the award this year. Rockland and Gillespie wrote the book “Looking for America on the New Jersey Turnpike,” and have also been colleagues for more than 40 years. “I certainly could not think of anybody better for this award,” Rockland said. “I don’t think there is anyone else in the entire state of New Jersey. I nominated him because he has contributed [to] the SEE NOMINATION ON PAGE 3

Sen. Cor y Booker (D-NJ) will win in Tuesday’s Senate race, but maybe not by as much as expected, said David Redlawsk, director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling at the Rutgers Eagleton Institute of Politics. This race does not have the same level of intensity as past Senate races, both because Jeff Bell is not a “big name Republican” and nobody expects Booker to lose, Redlawsk said. People are less excited, and thus voter turnout is expected to be low. Booker is “fairly centrist,” Redlawsk said, and he and Bell could
not be fur ther apar t on most of the issues.
SOCIAL ISSUES
Booker is a strong suppor ter of abor tion rights and marriage equality, Redlawsk said, adding that he is a strong suppor ter of civil rights in general. According to Nor thJersey. com, Booker believes people who love each other have the right to get married. “We are a nation that is going to get so much fur ther if we understand we all are equal under the law and need each other to be successful,” Booker said according to Nor thJersey.com.

Jeff Bell could be the first Republican elected to the Senate from New Jersey in more than 30 years. But first he must overcome several obstacles, including facing an incumbent opponent who is leading by roughly 15 percentage points, according to Real Clear Politics. Bell first appeared in New Jersey politics in 1978 when he challenged well-respected Republican incumbent Clifford Case, said John Weingart, associate director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics. In an upset, he won the primar y vote but lost to a Democrat in the general election.
New Jersey has elected Democrats to the national Senate ever since. “The conventional wisdom is that New Jersey will not elect a conservative Republican, and they need a more moderate nominee,” Weingart said. Bell does not fit that description — he tends to lean more conservative on many issues.
SOCIAL ISSUES
Bell is pro-life, meaning he believes that a fetus should be legally recognized as a person, Weingart said. According to his website, Bell supports the House-passed bill SEE SENATOR ON PAGE 5
Protestors carry coffins on campus to demand representation DAVID NOVIS CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Members of Rutgers American Association of University Professors-American Federation of Teachers and students have protested several times, demanding for their voices to be heard. AVALON ZOPPO
Students were dressed in all black and had two coffins leading a funeral procession down the College Avenue campus. The mood was somber, but not because they were mourning someone’s death — they were mourning the loss of the student voice on campus. The procession began Friday morning and participants chanted, “Show me what democracy looks like! This is what democracy looks like!” That chant was one of many that could be heard as protestors marched across campus. The procession was held in conjunction with the Where RU Barchi coalition and the Rutgers chapter of the American Association of University Professors-American Federation of Teachers. The protest’s intent was to be peaceful in nature, allowing the rally, the chants and the spectacle to do all the demonstrating they needed. In this way, they believed

their voices would not be able to go unrecognized. “We came out, in part, to show support for the teachers who are currently in a bargaining session with the administration for new contracts,” said Sivan Rosenthal, a Rutgers United Students Against Sweatshops member. The teacher’s union has been a part of intense bargaining sessions with the administration. The purpose of the sessions is an effort to secure what they believe to be fair wages. Although the AAUP-AFT has been working to effectively represent the Rutgers faculty since they were established in 1970, and WRUB was recently established, both groups immediately realized the shared interests. Rosenthal, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said the administration’s issues are also student issues. “We all feel it’s important to work together as opposed to separately SEE PROTESTORS ON PAGE 3

New Jersey culture, New Jersey folklore and New Jersey life more than anyone else.” According to the citation for the award, the NJHC gave Gillespie this accomplishment because of two citations: his scholarship, in which the committee mentioned his authored works, and academic histor y, and his work with the “Folk Festival” each year. Gillespie also authored another novel, “Twin Towers: The Life of New York City’s World Trade Center,” published in 1999. In a few years, the book sold around 5,000 copies, but after 9/11, his book became a New York Times Best Seller.
“Most of the copies were bought by my mother,” he joked. Gillespie has also organized and recruited students for the

“There are several groups on campus that ultimately need to work with President Barchi, despite the fact that all groups should be able to if they want to,” Rosenthal said. Along with their belief that the administration is not listening to their voices, members of WRUB believe they are being purposely shut out altogether. “The administration’s way of dealing with us tends to be to stonewall us until they can’t really avoid talking to us,” Son said. In order to break down the barrier between students and faculty and the administration, the rally members hoped to showcase both their strong desire and strong size in order to make themselves unavoidable to the administration.
Rosenthal said the size of the march was what made them a presence on Friday. “This is what makes up the University. This is it,” Rosenthal said. “There are more of us than there are of them.” In the process of becoming recognized by the administration, protestors claimed to have faced several hardships in their attempts. When members of RUSAS held a demonstration at Old Queens on October 14, the building experienced a lockdown, although University Spokesperson E.J. Miranda said the lockdown was not caused by the demonstration, according to a Daily Targum article. Rosenthal said WRUB is not doing anything illegal.
“I wouldn’t say that we’re being unreasonable at all to want to speak to someone who is head of our University as someone who goes here,” she said. Reiss said the protest is just a conspicuous way for students and faculty to make another statement. By the students and faculty both coming together, the hope was to boldly put the statement of how the distance needs to be lessened between the students and administration. For the future, the protestors hoped the connection would expand to involve the administration as well. “Even if we don’t achieve anything today, we at least will have made a statement,” Reiss said.

Gillespie has also received multiple other recognitions. In 1986, he received an award from the United States government to ser ve a full year as a Fulbright professor in the Philippines. He also was awarded a similar recognition as a Fulbright professor in Kristiansand, Nor way. The Fulbright awards are renowned recognitions, but the NJHC’s award has been one of his greatest accomplishments, Gillespie said. He finds it particularly rewarding because the award is named for the former governor of New Jersey, a major character in his Twin Towers book. “He is really a model for somebody who is close to his students, helps his students and cares about his students,” Rockland said. “He also put the American Studies Department on the map when he created the folk festival. We need more of that at this University.”

“It’s just a peaceful protest to go and show that we are here — we want to hear [President Robert L. Barchi], and we want to be heard,” said Elijah Reiss, School of Arts and Sciences sophomore. Students like Reiss might not represent a specific group or organization on campus, but represent those who still feel the need to demonstrate to the administration the importance of a united school. Reiss said Barchi is only furthering the gap by not meeting with students and not giving students proper recognition. The belief is becoming that their voices are slipping away at this University, and all they ask for is to be able to hold onto it and make sure that it can be increased.

Referendum questions to be asked on 2014 ballot ERIN PETENKO AND SABRINA SZTEINBAUM ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITORS
The first referendum question on the ballot amends the New Jersey state constitution to create a new legal procedure: the ability for judges to refuse to set bail for a person awaiting trial. Currently, judges can set a high bail price, but not refuse it, said John Weingart, associate director of the Rutgers Eagleton Institute of Politics. This law would give judges more discretion in when bail would be appropriate or inappropriate. The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey estimates that more than 10,000 people stay in jail at any give day because they cannot afford bail, according to an editorial in The Times of Trenton. The amendment would also allow judges to determine whether someone is a flight risk, is likely to intimidate witnesses or is likely to demonstrate “antisocial behavior” before the trial. The legislature passed a law that would allow judges to have more discretion on whether to release someone earlier than their original sentence. But the law will only go into effect if this referendum passes, Weingart said. “Judges can be more lenient in some cases and be stricter in others,” he said. A Fairleigh-Dickenson poll in mid-October found that while only 29 percent of voters knew about the referendum, 77 percent supported it when told about it, according to NorthJersey.com
The likelihood of the referendum passing depends in part on voter turnout, Weingart said. “Regardless somewhat of substance, they tend to say no,” Weingart said. “And the impulse is to say no to something if you don’t understand it.” The other referendum question on this year’s ballot is a proposal to use par t of the state’s corporate business tax to pay for the preser vation of open spaces, like state parks, forests, historic sites and wildlife management areas, according to nj.com. Usually, New Jerseyans are in favor of using government money to buy open spaces in order to stop these spaces from being developed, said David Redlawsk, director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling. “That’s one of those issues where in New Jersey, Republicans and Democrats don’t differ very much in the state,” he said. Gov. Chris Christie is opposed to this particular referendum because it may take existing money away from other uses as opposed to raising extra funds just for this cause, Redlawsk said. “Opponents argue that the money will be taken away from other environmental issues, like pollution cleanups,” he said. “Supporters say we need it, and that wouldn’t happen.” If Redlawsk had to guess, this referendum will pass even though it does not have the same broadbased support that referendums usually do.

that would make abortion illegal after 20 weeks. He also supports a bill that would give a fetus constitutional protection under the 14th Amendment. Concerning same-sex marriage, Bell believes marriage is a religious concept that the government should not make decisions about. Bell opposes the relaxation of drug laws, such as the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington, Weingar t said. He believes the administration and federal agencies should inter vene. Those states’ voters have made changes that are in opposition to federal laws, but the administration has not enforced that. “The Obama administration has

HEALTH CARE
Bell supports repealing the Af fordable Care Act and making some changes to the health
care system, re-focusing it to a refundable tax credit system for “catastrophic” insurance that covers emergencies. He believes the government should of fer an insurance plan for people with pre-existing conditions that would normally prevent them from getting insurance, he told nj.com. This would create a more private-sector system than we have now, Weingart said. Bell also suppor ts creating an Ebola travel ban from West African countries where the virus is most prevalent, according to Asbur y Park Press. It would prevent foreigners with visas from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone from entering the countr y. “We can’t kid ourselves we’ve got a handle on it. We don’t have it under control,” Bell said in the ar ticle. “I can’t believe (a travel ban) would not have some impact.” On his website, Bell said he agrees with Gov. Chris Christie’s decision to quarantine health workers coming from West Africa.

Redlawsk said he is not sure that Booker has spoken much about the legalization of marijuana, but Bell is “cer tainly opposed” to it. “It’s also not an issue that’s likely to be a big issue at the national level — it’s going to play out state by state,” he said.
EDUCATION
Democrats are more student-friendly with regard to educational policies in terms of student loans, Redlawsk said. Though unsuccessful so far, Democrats in Congress have made ef for ts to cut student loan interest rates. “I think the bigger picture for anybody voting is that you vote for the candidate who best represents the things that you want to see happen in this country, but don’t expect miracles to happen,” he said. According to Nor thJersey. com, Booker said the ver y fact that Congress has been paralyzed in the face of student loan rates that are set to double is “absolutely unacceptable.”
ECONOMY
Ever ybody is in favor of jobs, Redlawsk said, but there are strong dif ferences of opinion
on the best way to create them. Booker suppor ts a significant increase in the minimum wage, believing that $10.10 per hour would help the economy. Of the states that have increased the minimum wage, including Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware and Mar yland, Redlawsk said there is no evidence that the economies in these states have suf fered.
HEALTH CARE
Booker suppor ts the Af fordable Care Act, according to his campaign site. The act prevents health insurance plans from limiting or denying benefits to children under 19 due to pre-existing medical conditions, according to the U.S. Depar tment of Health and Human Ser vices website. It also allows young adults under the age of 26 stay covered under their parent’s health plan, according to the site. Redlawsk said Bell would appeal the ACA, and that even though Booker suppor ts it, he may or may not be able to do anything about that depending upon if the Republicans or Democrats are in control of Congress.

Student discusses pros of nuclear engineering NIKHILESH DE STAFF WRITER
Deciding between using nuclear power or conventional plants should be simple, said Christopher Poresky, a School of Engineering senior. Nuclear power is one of the most promising sources of energy in the coming decades, he said. Nuclear plants use fewer resources, have no emissions and are far more efficient than other types of power plants. Poresky discussed the benefits of nuclear power at an Engineers Without Borders meeting last Tuesday at the Busch Student Center. Poresky, who studied nuclear engineering while abroad in Germany, said nuclear plants produce more than 50 percent of New Jersey’s power today. Nuclear sources only supply 20 percent of the United States’ power, he said. Nuclear power, which operates similarly to thermal-based power plants, has advantages over alternate sources, including its consistency and lack of emissions, he said. Solar or wind farms depend on elemental factors and cannot consistently provide a base load of power, he said. They also take up large amounts of space for a relatively smaller return on power. “You’re not going to build a solar farm the size of a nuclear power plant and get the same amount of power,” he said.
Geothermal power is also restricted, he said. Nuclear power has no emissions, making it more environmentally friendly than coal power plants, he said. The “smoke” coming out of the large towers at a plant is water vapor. These plants do not need to be refueled often, Poresky said. Plants use nuclear pellets to allow plants to run for years before they need to be refueled. Modern technology also allows these plants to be mostly autonomous. Power plants also have more flexibility in where they can be built, he said. Because they produce no byproducts besides nuclear waste and no physical requirements or restrictions on their location, a nuclear power plant could be constructed anywhere, including near cities. Modern nuclear power plants are built solidly to withstand large stresses, such as earthquakes, he said. “Safety is one of the biggest concerns,” he said. “Ever ything is about safety. That’s first and foremost.” Two main types of nuclear power plants are boiling water reactors and pressurized water reactors, Poresky said. A BWR plant uses a single loop, where radiation heats water that turns a turbine. A PWR plant uses two loops, where the water turning the turbine is not exposed to the radiation. BWR plants are cheaper and easier to build but require more maintenance because the turbine wears out, he said. PWR plants are more expensive but last longer.
Christopher Poresky, a School of Engineering senior, explains the benefits of nuclear power at an Engineers Without Borders meeting last Tuesday. RUOXUAN YANG Nuclear plants operate by utilizing the energy released through nuclear fission, he said. Small pellets of radioactive material serve as the “fuel” in this process. Other fast-moving particles hit the nuclei within the pellets, which causes them to split, he said. This process repeats itself, releasing large amounts of energy at controllable levels. A single pellet contains as much energy as one ton of coal or five barrels of oil, Poresky said. Inside one is a solid powder mixed with glue. In addition to liberating power, a nuclear plant may be used to desalinate water and produce hydrogen,
he said. Hydrogen may be used to power cars and other vehicles in the future as an effective alternative to fossil fuels. A small or medium-sized plant on a coast could also produce clean water, he said. Two processes, reverse osmosis and multi-stage flash distillation, remove salt and other sediments from water. Reverse osmosis is a simple and cheap process where water is filtered through a porous material that does not allow larger sediments through, he said. MSF distillation is a more expensive and complicated process, where water is turned to steam repeatedly to remove salt, he said.
This process is more effective than reverse osmosis. Both processes are already used today, Poresky said. Anthony Yang, a junior in the School of Engineering, said a nuclear engineering program at Rutgers would be beneficial to prepare students for the jobs of the future. Educating people on the benefits of nuclear engineering would also help with its popularity, said Neha Sikka, a School of Engineering junior. “If this is where the future’s going, and it sounds like it’s where it should go, then Rutgers would only benefit from having a program for it,” she said.
MIT Clean Energy Prize announces Rutgers fellows for year 2014-2015 WEINI ZHANG CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently opened its Clean Energy Prize competition to students around the nation, said Andres Potes, an MBA candidate at MIT. The CEP is a student run business plan competition facilitating innovation and entrepreneurship in addressing the world’s energy challenge, said Potes, the Community Coordinator in the CEP competition. “The competition is divided into three tracks: renewable energy, energy efficiency and infrastructure,” Potes said. Each year, about 20 teams enter the semi-finals of more than 100 teams that apply, he said. A mentor assigned to each team will help students refine their ideas, he said. Each track will come up with a winner who is awarded $25,000. Three winning teams will present their business plan to the public on May 8, he said. A grand prize of $225,000 will be awarded. The program enables organizers to reach out to universities throughout the country, he said. Student leaders in each university serve as campus representatives
for the competition, recruiting and coordinating their teams. Fellows are granted funds and materials to galvanize entrepreneurship on campus, he said. “Clean energy involves a lot of aspects, including technical problems, market [and] public policy,” he said. “With two fellows in Rutgers, we can have a better outreach to the university’s resources and a better coordination among them all.”
“A university like Rutgers definitely needs to be in the conversation in today’s movement toward clean energy.” BRIAN CHITTUM School of Engineering Junior
Rutgers’ fellows for the 20142015 academic year are Matthew Purri, a sophomore in the School of Engineering, and Brian Chittum, a School of Engineering junior. Fellows are selected based on their experiences with clean energy entrepreneurship and the enthusiasm they bring to the current program, Potes said. Chittum entered the program based on his experience
with bio-digesters. He previously worked with organic waste at the University. “The competition applies to me because of my major … I’m interested in clean energy and renewable energy, especially alternative fuel sources for cars,” he said. Purri and Chittum hope to encourage team participation by reaching out to faculties and students in different departments and organizations, Purri said. They hope to work with the Rutgers Energy Institute to hold events and find panelists to discuss ideas. Besides holding events and helping with logistics, Chittum hopes to facilitate new ideas through collaboration between interested parties. Universities are at the forefront of innovative solutions to global issues, Potes said. The hope is that the CEP will incentivize students into forming new technologies that will eventually be used in everyday life. “A university like Rutgers definitely needs to be in the conversation in today’s movement towards clean energy,” Chittum said. “The more I learn about the Clean Energy Prize competition, the more I realize that it is a catalyst for energy innovation and a platform to show our great ideas.”

Researcher discovers new frog species in New York NIKHILESH DE STAFF WRITER
A new species of frog, which has a very narrow mating window and is silent for most of the year, was recently discovered on Staten Island, New York, said Jeremy Feinberg, a doctoral student in the Rutgers Graduate School in New Brunswick. Feinberg was at a frog extinction event on Long Island when he was told about the colony on Staten Island. Initially thought to be Southern Leopard Frogs, stud-
ies in New Jersey and Connecticut confirmed these creatures were different. “After three years of working in New Jersey, I knew what [Southern Leopard Frogs] should sound like,” he said. “And those new ones sounded nothing like what they should have.” The new frog will formally be known as “Rana kauffeldi,” in honor of Carl Kauffeld, who theorized the existence of an unknown SEE SPECIES ON PAGE 7

species of frog more than 80 years ago, Feinberg said. The common name for the new species is the Atlantic Coast Leopard Frog, he said.
This new amphibian likely went undiscovered for so long due to its coloring and mating calls, said Joanna Burger, a distinguished professor in the Division of Life Sciences in the School of Arts and Sciences.
It looks similar to other frog types in the region, which would not be seen by casual observers, she said. The patterning and genetics were clues to discovering the frog’s uniqueness, said Matthew Schlesinger, chief zoologist at the New York Natural Heritage Program. “The discovery is unusual because the [New York City] metropolitan area is well studied and highly urbanized,” he said in an email. “[It is] not the kind of place
typically associated with biodiversity discovery.” Precise measurements of the frogs’ body types were taken to help note the differences, he said. A paper listing the differences between the Southern Leopard Frog and the Northern Leopard Frog took more than two years to write, he said. It lists the third “genetic lineage,” which is the Atlantic Coast Leopard Frog. This species lives on large open wetlands, Burger said. The restricted habitat require-
ment means these wetlands should be protected. The Atlantic Coast Leopard Frog is thought to be the species that actually went extinct on Long Island, rather than the Southern Leopard Frog, Feinberg said. The next step is to confirm this by studying the tadpoles he is raising. “My entire committee was really excited about this [discovery],” he said. “They patted me on the back and said ‘finish your actual dissertation.’”

Coverage of Ebola warrants asking, ‘which lives matter?’ A WOMAN’S PLACE IS IN POLITICS MARGARITA ROSARIO
T
he most recent Ebola outbreak has prompted an unprecedented worldwide unification of medical tools and techniques, af firming the manifest vulnerability of coexistence and exposing the global need to work together if anyone is to stop spread of the virus. However, the general public has donned a special approach to the Ebola virus, one that is dangerously reminiscent of the stereotypes expelled during the AIDS epidemic and lends itself to the fur ther marginalization and stigmatizing of African peoples. Our language when talking about Ebola needs to be seriously reconsidered, scanned for its Orientalist and xenophobic tendencies and rid of its overall racism. Our privilege as Americans does not make our flesh immune to the dangers of the virus, and so our language must not imply other wise. Ebola broke out in Guinea because it is Ebola, not because there is some inherent inferiority in the bodily composition of African people or because epidemics in the region air on the side of inevitability. And yet, it seems these sorts of explanations do not cease to be conveyed across all forms of social media, including some devastating memes on Facebook that depict the “danger” of touching African children, as though this
present situation is implicit in all areas and epochs of the African lineage. Furthermore, the grouping of all African nations as monolithic and somehow equally exposed to the dangers of the virus has prompted seriously disturbing jokes about “nature” of African countries, their susceptibility to deadly viruses and the subsequent futility of engaging in humanitarian aid. These comments fall short of endorsing a quarantine of the
Ebola in West Africa, and the United States was relatively uninvolved except for securing its own borders. The international humanitarian organization, Doctors Without Borders, has been the vanguard of the fight against Ebola, but it has received little of ficial suppor t from those nations. When it comes to the threat of Ebola spreading across the United States, American citizens are infused with fren-

Our language when talking about Ebola needs to be seriously reconsidered, scanned for its Orientalist and xenophobic tendencies and rid of its overall racism.” region, of sanctioning a deadly isolation that will rid what we have come to see as the “problem” of African nations, namely, the people themselves. The present treatment of African people is not new. Since the beginning of colonialism, black bodies have been deemed super fluous, lest they garner profit, and have been regarded with inferiority. Epidemics in African nations have often been dismissed as a problem for the respective regions to deal with, and until the problem poses a global threat, little is done to help the victims. Indeed, it took months for the United Nations to respond to the outbreak of
zy that is, at best, comical. But at its worst, this frenzy has made evident the purpor ted superiority of American lives, the immunity Americans feel toward any bodily harm and an expectation of isolation from the rest of the world that distinctly marks the U.S. Americans, imbued with a panic and inimitable hysteria over the Ebola virus, have privileged their own lives over the lives of the almost 5,000 dead in African nations. When African people die, it is a devastating, but expected, tragedy (if even that). When Americans die, the whole world seems to stop. The coverage of Ebola exposes how little U.S. media
cares about West African patients, how ready they are to bunch all patients in together, as though African suf fering is par t of a perennial, uncontrollable cycle of death in the region. The most recent outbreak of the virus is thought to have originated in Guinea, spreading rapidly into West African countries like Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. Seven cases of the virus being impor ted from nations with widespread transmission have been repor ted elsewhere, including four in the United States, one in Mali, one in Senegal and one in Spain. Out of these seven cases, two have resulted in death. Fur thermore, about half of the health care of ficials who have contracted Ebola while attempting to treat it have died. The crisis is serious, to be sure. But the American media’s por trayal of its presence in the U.S., and the absence of news on Ebola in West Africa, reminds all spectators that the U.S. only cares about protecting itself, rather than helping others. However intimidating the threat of Ebola may be, I charge readers with keeping the lives of those have died from the virus in mind. We cannot let entire populations become extinct simply because we placed undue priority on our own lives.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR College students can effect change through election participation You may have seen several on-campus organizations such as RU Voting of fering to help you register to vote these past few weeks. The registration period is now over, but there is still one important step to attend to: actually voting. It’s that time of the year, with elections on the horizon, but not ever yone is focused on the upcoming races. Various challenges keep college students from paying attention to politics. We all have incredibly busy schedules built around grueling classes and extracurricular activities. This is the understandable reality of our hectic lives. But the importance of participating in the political process cannot be understated, and students need to make time for being politically aware and informed. Making the ef fort

“College students like to point out what is wrong with our government and the problems they have with it.

we forget the power we hold. The politicians and policy-makers work for us — they are our representatives. If you have a concern with the way our elected of ficials are representing your interests, then your nearest polling location is the place to tell them. The millennial generation has enormous potential. We are highly educated, extremely large in number, and we have access to technological advances that allow us to communicate in ways that previous generations never had. One person might not single-handedly change the face of politics in our countr y, but a collective voice would make it much easier. So the next time you see someone tr ying to register voters, don’t just crank your music up louder and walk by. Take a second and think about what you’re capable of just by filling out a ballot.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “He is really a model for somebody who is close to his students, helps his students and cares about his students. He also put the American Studies Department on the map when he created the ‘Folk Festival.’ We need more of that at this University.”

AWAY Badgers steamroll Knights’ run defense with 298 total yards on ground CONTINUED FROM BACK For the third straight week, they were completely outmatched, out-executed and outclassed in every facet by one of the Big Ten’s upper echelon teams. Wisconsin (6-2, 3-1), even with three consecutive three-andouts to begin the game, battered through Rutgers’ struggling run defense with 298 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. The Badgers finished with 385 total yards and 16 first downs — twice as many as the Knights. But so much of it came after Wisconsin practically begged Rutgers to shown signs of life early on — signs that never materialized. With visibly hobbled senior quarterback Gar y Nova starting, who was questionable to play throughout the week with a right leg injur y, the Knights stuck to largely conser vative play-calling that only generated disastrous outcomes. Six of Rutgers’ nine drives with Nova under center went threeout-out — another produced a turnover on second down — before redshirt freshman Chris Laviano took over once the score ballooned to 30-0 in the third quarter. “It’s been the same repeating kind of thing these past three
weeks,” said Nova, who passed 5-of-15 for 46 yards with an interception. “The margin of error is so small with teams like this, and when you make mistakes, they tend to hop on those mistakes and make plays. Credit to them, they have a great defense, but we made a lot of mistakes today that we need to clean up.” Exactly what those mistakes are is something few within the program can pinpoint right now. Ef for t and energy are never the issue, the Knights insist. Neither is the level of talent and physicality of the Big Ten’s elite teams. Rutgers swears it is learning and improving from these types of losses, but the defeats are only trending downward. Season lows of 139 yards and eight first downs against Wisconsin are proof. “When you have a day offensively like we did, we’re going to look at that film and we’re going to see a lot of reasons [for the struggles],” Flood said. “It starts up front, there’s no doubt. It always starts up front, but I think there’s going to be more than enough responsibility to go around.” Flood said he made the decision to start Nova after watching him in pregame warm-ups. He received medical clearance Friday on Nova’s availability and never thought of pulling from the game at halftime. That was until midway through the third quarter, when Flood felt the offensive line wasn’t blocking well enough. It is a recurring theme for Rutgers’ reeling front, which has
Junior left tackle Keith Lumpkin tries to block Wisconsin outside linebacker Joe Schobert. Rutgers’ offensive line surrendered three sacks Saturday to Badger pass rushers. SHAWN SMITH allowed nine sacks the last three games after surrendering eight total in the first six contests. Even after preparing all week for the various pressures of Wisconsin’s 3-4 front seven, three more sacks surfaced. “We didn’t do a good enough job of blocking them,” said junior left tackle Keith Lumpkin. “I specifically take credit for myself. I didn’t do a good enough job blocking for [Nova]. We’ve just got to take this bye week and get better.”

DEFENSE Laviano earns second bit of major playing time, runs for 8 yards, passes for 17 CONTINUED FROM BACK person there to get him down.” At the outset of the game, Snyder said Rutgers created all its own energy defensively. It was easy to see why the Knights would lose energy. High Point Solutions Stadium was only about a third filled to capacity, despite being listed as a sellout. The offense had trouble controlling the clock, putting up only 129 total yards with only 2.6 yards per rush. “It is definitely a big advantage for us, we get a lot of energy from [the fans], but at the same time, at the start of the game, we created our own energy,” said redshirt freshman quarterback Chris Laviano. “If
you create your own energy, you can take it away. I think our energy stayed up most of the game, but when you let a couple [plays get] out, you start doubting yourself and that energy level can start to drop. That’s huge when you are a defense that is a high-energy type of defense.” *** Laviano relieved senior quarterback Gary Nova midway through the third quarter Saturday and played the rest of the game, seeing extensive playing time for the second straight week. Laviano came in for the second half against Nebraska after Nova went down with a lower body injury. Laviano did not enter because Nova was injured or because of poor play, Flood said, but rather because of the lack of protection from the offensive line. “If we would have protected him better, I don’t feel I would have taken him out. I didn’t feel we were protecting him as well as I would have liked to,” Flood said. “Chris has
more mobility at this point, so I figured he’d be better to be in there.” When Laviano did enter the game, he showed flashes of why some consider him a dual-threat at quarterback. He scrambled on one rollout for eight yards and added 17 yards through the air. Laviano said he gained some confidence from the extended snaps he saw in the game, but he thinks, most importantly, more in-game experience can help his game grow. “I think during the drives that I got, I did not make enough plays, personally, to keep us in the game. I could’ve made better reads and I should have made better plays with the ball,” Laviano said. “Experience is experience. I suppose I was more comfortable than if it was my first time going into the game, but I just got to calm myself down and play good football.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @TylerKaralewich and @TargumSports on Twitter.
Nova said his knee felt fine afterward, despite hobbling on rollouts in the pocket and wearing tape around his ankle. Mobility-wise, he claimed there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. The Knights will need that to be the case as bowl eligibility for this team possibly hinges on Nov. 15’s home meeting with Indiana. After that, Rutgers closes its regular season on the road at Michigan State and Maryland. Flood, after emerging from the locker room to the podium
inside the Hale Center postgame, stayed positive. “I’ve been a part of teams that when frustration sets in, you see the bickering and the arguing, players turning on players,” Flood said. “We’re fortunate. We don’t have any of that right now. What we have is a group of guys that are really, really desiring to be better.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @gregp_j and @TargumSports on Twitter.

WOMEN’S SOCCER NO. 23 RUTGERS 2, OHIO STATE 0
Knights showcase talent at quad meet TYLER KARALEWICH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
When asked last week about the Rutgers Duals, head coach Scott Goodale said it would be a good test for the Rutgers wrestling team as an extension of the wrestle-offs exhibition, but still competitive enough as a start to the season. Goodale went on to say it was a stress-free situation where the Scarlet Knights could face a different opponent and prepare for the upcoming season. Each weight class was guaranteed three matches. Sunday, at the first quad meet at Rutgers in recent history, there was no sense of stress in the matchups as the Knights handily defeated Centenary, 49-3, Delaware Valley, 38-6, and Stevens Institute of Technology, 41-0. Overall, Goodale was pleased with the performance. “It was a good day. We got three wins, wrestled hard, won some matches late,” Goodale said. “… And it was a good day for our young guys. Guys like [freshman Ralph Normandia] and Nicholas Gravina, it was there first time in the lineup and they wrestled well, so that was good.” Normandia, Gravina and redshirt freshman 125-pounder Josh Patrick were three newcomers who stood out for the Knights. Normandia, who wrestled three matches at 197 pounds, collected three minor decisions — one that came in sudden victory against Delaware Valley. He also came back against Stevens to win, 7-6. Gravina collected a win by fall two minutes into his first match, followed it up with tech fall and ended his quad meet with an 11-1 major decision against Stevens’ Conner Bass. It was Gravina’s first match grappling in a Rutgers singlet after missing some time last season due to injury. The Allendale, New Jersey, native started off the season winning his wrestle-off at 165 pounds and followed that up on Sunday with three wins. Finally wrestling for the Knights is a dream come true for Gravina,
who said he couldn’t wait to compete for Rutgers in dual-competition. Although he was happy to be out there, he acknowledged that there were still some nerves. “It was great and awesome to finally be out there wrestling in a Rutgers singlet,” Gravina said. “There’s some stress because it is my first collegiate match, and it’s the first time I’m out there, but it felt good to have a good day.” While Goodale was impressed with some of the young guys, it was the veterans who still managed to pick things up for the Knights. Juniors Billy Smith and Anthony Perrotti, along with sophomore Phil Bakuckus and redshirt freshman Anthony Ashnault, went 3-0 in their respective weights. All of them collected at least one major against the Division III opponents. “It’s good to get all these falls. That’s the reason why we schedule all these matches,” Perrotti said. “We can get a nice little warmup, wrestle down to weight for the first time and see how everyone is feeling at their weight. We looked pretty good, not perfect though, but we still got some work to do.” Perrotti was able to collect a win by fall and two tech falls, all of which ended in the first period. “My top game was on-point today and I was scoring a lot of back points,” Perrotti said. “I felt like my offense was really clicking.” As well as the team performed, Goodale sees many ways Rutgers can improve. The seasonal grind lasts all the way until March for the Knights, and in order to reach their goal of having more All-Americans (and possible National Champions), they have to keep improving their game. “There are a lot of things we have to do better with,” Goodale said. “We have to get better overall. This is a good tune up, and it’s nice to get some matches under our belt, but there are no more excuses. We have a big one coming in two Sundays, we got to keep getting better. This is just the first step.”

Rutgers awakens in season finale GARRETT STEPIEN CORRESPONDENT
A heightened sense of urgency surrounded the No. 23 Rutgers women’s soccer team entering its season finale. As much as head coach Mike O’Neill wanted to avoid the idea, his team was reeling. The Scarlet Knights had been shutout in three consecutive games, slowly spiraling downward with their longest losing skid since 2012. But when it came down to Friday night’s showdown with the likes of an Ohio State team looking to sneak into the Big Ten Tournament with an upset, Rutgers put its foot down and refused to let up. The Knights rained down on the Buckeyes’ Senior Day festivities, getting back to the winning ways they have been so accustomed to throughout the course of the 2014 campaign, with a 2-0 shutout typical of the team’s hard-nosed defensive blueprint. Most importantly, Rutgers (12-4-1, 8-4-1) locked up the No. 4 seed for the Big Ten Tournament with the win and a little help coming from a Minnesota loss to Northwestern. Leading up to the game, a calm, cool and collected O’Neill said in practice last week that he wanted to establish consistency in play on both sides of the ball, with the offense capitalizing on its scoring opportunities. In Rutgers’ most recent game, O’Neill saw his players finally do that. “You go and you win that many games in a row, and then you lose a couple in a row. I just think the biggest factor is the way that it happens,” O’Neill said. “And like I said earlier, we liked everything we were doing during that time. We were just unlucky with finishing chances
and then at Ohio State in tough conditions … we played good soccer and created chances, and the difference in the game was we finished the chances.” The offense snapped out of its three-game drought without a goal behind the legs of senior forward Stef Scholz and sophomore midfielder Madison Tiernan. Scholz struck first for Rutgers, following up on a cross from 10 yards out by junior forward Amanda DeVolk in the 20th minute for her sixth goal of the season. “Definitely. It was a huge relief for us,” Scholz said of the goal. “The past couple of weekends
“[The win] was just good for our team morale ... going into the Big Ten Championships this week. MADISON TIERNAN Sophomore Midfielder
we’ve had a lot of trouble finding the back of the net, so it feels good to get the offense going again heading into playoffs.” With their first score since Oct. 17, the Knights could relax, and the play that ensued showed a much looser approach on offense. Protecting a 1-0 lead coming out of the locker room after halftime, Tiernan wasted no time in separating Rutgers from Ohio State (6-10-3, 3-7-3). In the 50th minute, Tiernan netted her sixth goal of the season on a rebound tap-in off sophomore midfielder Jennifer Andresen’s shot from the top of the 18-yard box. “Actually, Jenn Andresen had a great shot on net, and, I mean, the
weather … was bad, wet,” Tiernan said. “I knew I had to follow [the shot] up because the goalie was kind of bobbling everything. It kind of just landed back at me, and I just finished it.” For Tiernan, Scholz’s goal earlier in the match was a sigh of relief. “We’ve been kind of like easing trying to get goals. Obviously, it’s a lot of pressure on us,” she said. “… We haven’t really gotten our good looks and haven’t really finished anything. It was kind of a sigh of relief, kind of just, ‘OK. Now we’re good. Let’s just play.’” On the defensive side of the ball, the Knights got back to the basics with their 10th shutout of the season. The mark is one shy of the 11 total shutouts they logged throughout the 2013 season. With the Big Ten Tournament’s opening game for Rutgers awaiting on Wednesday against No. 5 seed Iowa at 10:30 a.m. at the host site, Purdue, O’Neill’s team faces a quick turnaround. Scrambling to prepare for a run at the Big Ten Tournament crown, the Knights will frantically practice Monday and Tuesday before heading out to West Lafayette, Indiana. But with the win, Tiernan and the Knights have turned their play back to the type that jumpstarted them to an 11-1-1 record. “We always have a little bit of trouble on the road, and the past two weeks have been a little rough for us,” Tiernan said. “… To get that win, we know we played really well. [The win] was just good for our team morale … going into the Big Ten Championships this week. It was good to get that win under our belt.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

RU sweeps, earns berth to Big Ten’s RYAN MORAN STAFF WRITER
For the second time this season, the Rutgers field hockey team was able to sweep the weekend with wins over Indiana and Penn by scores of 2-1 and 3-0, respectively. After beating Indiana (9-8, 1-7) on Friday and riding such an emotional high, the Scarlet Knights (8-9, 2-6) could have had a letdown on Senior Day. But before the game, senior midfielders Jenn Staab and Sophie Wright were honored, which got the team riled up to go out and perform for them. The Knights did just that by securing their first shutout of the season against the Quakers (8-8). Junior forward Katie Champion scored twice, adding to her team-leading 10 goals, while sophomore forward Rachel Yaney also scored her fourth goal of the season. Rutgers was efficient offensively and able to take advantage of the opportunities it had. “Our forwards are peaking and starting to play really well,” said head coach Meredith Long. “The combo of Jasmine [Cole], Katie [Champion] and Rachel [Yaney] up front is proving to be dangerous. We are clicking at this point, which is exciting going into the tournament.” While the Penn win was a plus, the more important game of the Knights’ season came down to what happened in their game on Friday against the Hoosiers. Rutgers came into the season with the main goal of making the Big Ten Championship, and they clinched a berth to the tournament this week after beating Indiana. It was a dramatic win, as the Knights were able to take the lead with two minutes remaining, thanks to sophomore defender Sofia Walia hammering the ball home. “As soon as she got the goal, my heart just stopped,” said sophomore Alyssa Bull. “It was so exciting. We knew we just had to hold it and maintain possession after that.” Rutgers’ season has been one where the Knights have fallen short multiple times against Big Ten opponents, so to finally get the win they needed most led to ecstatic celebration. Rutgers started the scoring when Champion was able to find junior for ward Nicole Imbriaco in front of the net to put the Knights up 1-0. The goal was Imbriaco’s fifth of the season and first since Sept.12. The remainder of the game was a defensive battle, until the Knights earned a corner and Walia capitalized. “It was a really exciting game,” Yaney said. “We knew we won the game as soon as the ball went in. Now, we have nothing to lose going into Michigan.” Rutgers next faces the No. 2 seed of the tournament, Michigan, Nov. 6. The Wolverines edged out the Knights in their game earlier this season, 2-1, in Ann Arbor Sept. 28. “It’s thrilling,” Long said. “This team has worked really hard to be in this position. Our preparation began last year. We are really viewing this as a brand new season going in to the Big Ten tournament. It really is anybody’s game.”

Early strike decides scrappy contest at Yurcak SEAN STEWART ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Playing strictly for pride and the hope of gaining momentum before the Big Ten Conference Tournament begins Nov. 8, the Rutgers men’s soccer team entered Friday night’s home game against Bradley looking to iron out some kinks. Instead, the same old problems once again resurfaced, as the Scarlet Knights (5-10-1) conceded less than five minutes into the game off a goal from Bradley defender Johnny Contreras. Rutgers tried its best to level the score, but the early lead allowed the Braves (8-9) to sit back in numbers defensively and look to counter. That made it difficult for the Knights to create chances, falling 1-0 at Yurcak Field. After conceding in the opening minute against Ohio State last Saturday, head coach Dan Donigan was disappointed with his side’s slow start. “We focus on that every game,” Donigan said of starting strong. “I said it at Ohio State. … I said it again tonight. But even though
you say it, it doesn’t mean it’s always going to go out and happen. So, we can reiterate it again, but really, that doesn’t make the difference. The difference is when you go out there, the whistle blows [and] you play and perform and you don’t let teams get those opportunities [to] get that go ahead goal and basically sit back [early on].” The Knights started the game in their usual 4-5-1, with junior midfielder Rayon Gibbs occupying the role usually filled by injured junior J.P. Correa as a withdrawn forward underneath freshman forward Jason Wright. But when Contreras sent a first time left-footed shot from the top of the 18-yard box perfectly into the right corner of the goal, it didn’t take long for Donigan to make some changes. That change occurred midway through the first half as junior defender Mitchell Taintor replaced Gibbs up front. The change almost paid off in the 33rd minute, when Wright placed a low left-footed shot to the far post. But instead of finding the back netting, his shot struck the post.
Taintor also hit the woodwork in the opening five minutes of the second half, with his blistering shot unable to sneak into the near post of Bradley keeper Logan Ketterer’s goal. The Knights managed just four shots on goal, despite taking 21 overall in what was a visibly frustrating game for the players. “I think it was a bit of misfortune,” Taintor said of losing the game. “I also don’t think that we played as well as we could’ve in the first half. In the second half, we brought a better game, we got unlucky, hit the post, had a few opportunities going around the team. It was just one of those nights where things weren’t clicking.” Correa’s absence has been a part of the Knights’ struggles to click offensively. Since his injury against Northwestern, Donigan has been forced to dig deeper into his bench to find offensive production and tinker with his lineup. It has also led to Donigan trying new tactical approaches, although he said after they fell behind a goal, it was always going to be difficult, even if their veteran forward was on the field.
“There’s nothing tactically, in my opinion, you can do differently against a team that’s going to get those kinds of numbers behind the ball and defend the way they did,” Donigan said. “You could put 10 or 11 of the worst college soccer players on the field, and if they sit back and play like that, it’s [still] going to be difficult to penetrate.” With just one game left before the conference tournament, Rutgers has plenty of issues to fix before its season is officially on the line. But no matter what the tactical approach is going forward, the Knights’ biggest issue is to start matches stronger if they are to have any chance of extending their season. “It’s a lot of mentality and what you do individually,” junior defender Drew Morgan said of having stronger starts. “… I mean, it comes from all of us, myself included. Sometimes with these games, we haven’t been focused enough and working hard enough to stop these little mistakes and give up these goals.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s soccer team, follow @SeanStewartRU and @TargumSports on Twitter.

beat down Saturday — this time a 37-0 shutout to Wisconsin for the program’s first scoreless outing since 2002. To be sure, there was agonizing frustration, but how Rutgers was coping led its thirdyear head coach to make a bold proclamation. “That three-game stretch is going to be something we’re going to look back on at the end of the year as one of the points in the history of this program that is going to propel us

Amid a dreary, watered-down atmosphere within High Point Solutions Stadium, Kyle Flood went into the Rutgers football team’s locker room and saw nothing but desire. He saw love and passion. He sensed drive and dedication. This was after the Scarlet Knights suffered their third straight Big Ten
to great things,” Flood said. “The reason I feel so confident in saying that is because of the looks in the eyes of that team. There’s frustration, but there was never anything but love for each other, and I can’t tell you how critical that is and I can’t tell you how hard that is.” But few well wishes followed beneath the dark and gloomy Piscataway skies, where Rutgers (5-4, 1-4) dropped its fourth Homecoming game in five years.
As scattered rain poured down and the floodgates on the field wilted, fans booed and left the stadium in droves. The student section, which never had a raucous turnout to begin with, completely emptied early in the fourth quarter, save for a few dozen faithful. The Knights had no one to blame but themselves.

In order to return to some of the defensive prominence that it held earlier this season, the Rutgers football team had plans of containing the run and making Wisconsin’s offense one-dimensional. For the Scarlet Knights, it initially star ted to happen. In the first quar ter Sat-
gers’ defense is most successful when it can get off the field. Against the Badgers, the Knights’ defense did force six punts but was on the field for 66 plays — and perhaps it would have been more than that if Wisconsin didn’t erupt for four touchdowns on runs over 35 yards. For head coach Kyle Flood, it wasn’t a matter of disrupting the Badgers’ running game in the backfield, but rather a problem of getting
