Popular LX bus Grease trucks see business losses after move driver leaves job at Rutgers By Shawn Smith Correspondent
The grease trucks have started working on new ways to bring in revenue after they were forced to move from Lot 8 on Aug. 15. The R U Hungry? Truck, for example, is going to begin a delivery service, as well as offering catering. Beginning this week, Ayman Elnaggar, owner of the truck, said they will start delivering fat sandwiches to all campuses as a way to try and recover lost revenue after moving off Lot 8 more than two months ago. Rutgers moved them off the lot to build a residence hall. All the grease trucks have seen a loss in revenue since they were forced to move to various locations around the University. Mr. C’s lunch trucks are now located on Biel Road on Cook and outside Alexander Library on College Avenue. Just Delicious has moved to George Street outside the residence halls, and R U Hungry? sits in the former Souper Van location outside the Douglass Campus Center.

LX bus driver Stan McNeil, who is known by the Rutgers community for his words of encouragement and praise offered to students, has resigned. Paul Carbonari, assistant general manager at First Transit, the University’s bus service operator, has confirmed rumors about McNeil. “I can say to you that Stan resigned,” he said. “I’d say within a week or 10 days ago.” John Karakoglou, manager of transit services for the Department of Transportation Services at Rutgers, also said Stan was not fired. “He had some personal things ... with the bus company,” Karakoglou said. “I’m not sure, but I believe he had to resign to take care of other endeavors — he wanted to do other things. I’m not sure. We definitely didn’t fire him.” Editor’s note: This story originally appeared online yesterday.

U. team finds ocean storing excess heat
Alumnus, philanthropist Ralph W. Voorhees passes By Erin Petenko Associate News Editor
By Danica Sapit Contributing Writer
A research team led by Yair Rosenthal, a professor in the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, came back from the Pacific Ocean with startling news. “The ocean is warming fast, and we’re not sure why,” Rosenthal said. The team’s research spans 10 years and suggests the ocean’s rate of heat gain, as recorded in the last 60 years, is 15 times greater than any that natural warming has shown in the last 10,000 years, said Braddock Linsley, a research professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University. “[We] know that we released a lot of heat due to fossil fuel burning and other activities, but we couldn’t find it because the [surface] temperature had not been increasing,” Rosenthal said. The oceans have been working to buffer the ongoing rise in atmospheric temperatures, but researchers are uncertain as to how the effects of this heating will manifest, he said. “It’s important to know that water has a high [capacity] for temperature, and so the ocean is the ultimate place where we store heat,” he said. “The atmosphere doesn’t store heat.” See OCEAN on Page 5

Rutgers Hillel moved into temporary housing and received a $3 million donation from the Halpern family for its new building. TIAN LI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / SEPTEMBER 2013
Halpern family gives $3M for Hillel building By Charlie Melman Staff Writer
Seven years ago, Rutgers Hillel started the Capital and Endowment Campaign to obtain a more suitable space than its previous building at 93 College Ave. The campaign received a $3 million gift from the family of the late Eva and Arie Halpern, its largest donation this week. Hillel’s goal is to raise $18 million to construct and furnish its new home at 70 College Ave., which is scheduled to open in 2015. The building will now be called The Eva and Arie Halpern Hillel House. Andrew Getraer, executive director of Rutgers Hillel, said this donation was the largest one the organization had received during
its fundraising drive. The Halperns’ contribution was contingent upon Hillel attaching the family’s name to the building. “[The family] wanted to perpetuate the memory of their parents, who were Holocaust survivors who came to America,” Getraer said. After arriving in the United States, the Halperns became very successful in business and were some of the most prominent philanthropists in the country, he said. Multiple members of the Halpern family are Rutgers alumni, and another is on the board of directors of the Rutgers Hillel Foundation. The $18 million that Hillel aims to raise will be exclusively used to build and equip its new facility, Getraer said. See BUILDING on Page 4
Rutgers philanthropist Ralph W. Voorhees passed away Monday from natural causes at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at the age of 87. Voorhees, a member of a family known for its history of generosity, donated to many causes at the University, including the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum and the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, said Allan Maitlin, a former trustee of the Zimmerli museum. “He was a very warm, very generous person and everybody loved him,” Maitlin said. Voorhees, a 1948 alumnus, was senior vice president for investments at Paine Webber, chairman of the boards of the United Way of Central New Jersey, the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and the New Brunswick Cultural Center, according to the website for the Ralph W. Voorhees Center for Civic Engagement. James Hughes, dean of the Bloustein School, said Voorhees was very involved as a student at the University. He played both varsity football and baseball and until recently was the only pitcher to defeat Princeton twice in one season. Voorhees continued his involvement after graduation, buying season tickets to Rutgers football games every year and organizing men’s and women’s softball games, Hughes said.
He was also a great fan of art, a trait reflected in his contributions to the art museum, Maitlin said. In the early 1970s, he was a member of the museum’s Board of Overseers, and donated funds to build an addition to the museum. The museum changed its name from the Rutgers Art Galler y to its current name after his mother because of the donation, Maitlin said. Voorhees continued to contribute to the museum financially and with artworks. “All of the pieces in the Zimmerli’s collection came from donors, and Voorhees played a major role in that,” he said. Suzanne Delehanty, the director of the museum, said she met Voorhees in 2009 while he was serving on the Zimmerli Board of Overseers. “I think the important thing to know is that from early on, he realized that for Rutgers to be a truly great university, it must have a good museum,” he said. Voorhees also donated to the Bloustein school toward its inception in 1995, Hughes said. The Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center was named for his brother after he gave the school a $1 million endowment. Later, Alan Voorhees’ children donated to the school and helped to create the Ralph W. Voorhees Center for Civic Engagement, Hughes said. According to an article in Rutgers Today, the center oversees The Ralph W. Voorhees Program See ALUMNUS on Page 4

“Targum” is an Aramaic term for “interpretation.” The name for the University’s daily paper came to be after one of its founding members heard the term during a lecture by then-Rutgers President William H. Campbell. On Jan. 29, 1869, more than 140 years ago, the Targum — then a monthly publication, began to chronicle Rutgers history and has become a fixture in University tradition. The Targum began publishing daily in 1956 and gained independence from the University in 1980.

City promotes cultural awareness with Sister Cities International program By Katie Park Contributing Writer
New Brunswick is a member of Sister Cities International, a non-profit organization that connects cities around the world to each other to promote cultural understanding. New Brunswick has sister cities in Tsuruoka and Fukui, Japan, Debrecen, Hungary and Limerick, Ireland, said Michael Tublin, director of International Programs in New Brunswick. Tsuruoka was New Brunswick’s first sister city, which began its partnership in 1960, followed by Fukui in 1982, Debrecen in 1990 and Limerick in 1999, he said.
Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower created Sister Cities International in 1956, Tublin said. The objective of the program is to connect people of different cultures through various means to develop long-term relationships and international communication. Tublin said the organization utilizes arts, education and culture to foster interaction between communities from opposite sides of the globe. Just last month, New Brunswick used a cultural exchange to host Shinichi Higashimura, the mayor of Fukui, and his delegates to the University and the local city. Higashimura’s visit commemorated the 30th anniversary of Fukui’s rela-
tionship with New Brunswick. Next to spreading cultural awareness, Sister Cities International also strives to promote economic development between two communities, according to a 2006 article from the New Jersey State League of Municipalities. Building sister city relationships is especially beneficial for New Jersey, because it does not have the bustling metropolitan cities that other states have, according to the article. There is a particularly strong tie between New Brunswick and Debrecen in terms of economic development, according to the article. Both cities support pharmaceutical companies, universities,
hospitals and museums, according to the article. Because both cities support similar institutions, New Brunswick Sister Cities hosted “TRADE 2000 — Developing Hungarian Business Partnerships” during the 1990s. Sponsors of the TRADE 2000 conference included the Hungarian-American Chamber of Commerce of New York and New Jersey, the United States Department of Commerce, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the New Jersey Department of Commerce, according to the article. In Debrecen, Johnson & Johnson, a pharmaceutical company based in New Brunswick, shared
medical supplies with health facilities in Hungary, the article said. Since then, Bio-gal, a Hungarian pharmaceutical company, has arranged further business relationships with the city of New Brunswick. Johnson & Johnson has also sponsored Hungarian pediatric cardiologists to fly to the United States to receive specialized training from St. Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick, the article said. Since the exchanges between Debrecen and New Brunswick have started, Johnson & Johnson has been selling medical supplies to institutions in Hungary, according to the article.

BUILDING Getraer says Wilf family contributed $2 million, late Eric Ross donated $1.5 million continued from front
“[The money] really goes toward three areas: for the construction and furnishing of the new Hillel building and for endowing the operation of the facility,” Getraer said. Hillel purchased the property at 70 College Ave. in January 2007, he said. Coincidentally, the New Brunswick Development Corporation, or DEVCO, asked Hillel to partner in the redevelopment of the College Avenue campus two years ago. Hillel’s old, rented property at 93 College Ave. was located in the middle of DEVCO’s project. The two groups worked together to find a temporary home for Hillel, so they could vacate the building and allow the future New Brunswick Theological Seminary to be built. Getraer said the campaign saw an alarming deceleration in the
rate and quantity of contributions after the economy went into a decline in 2008. “From about September 2008, for a year or so we couldn’t raise anything,” he said. “When the economy crashed, fundraising grounded to a halt. People either didn’t have the money, or they were uncertain about their financial future.” Contributions have now begun to flow at a relatively steady pace. Hillel is on track to achieve their fundraising goal by 2015, Getraer said. Contributions arrive in various sizes, said Lee Rosenfield, a consultant for the Capital and Endowment Campaign. Apart from the Halpern family, others groups have made contributions more than $1 million to the fundraising effort. Several have given six-figure amounts, and many have chipped in with donations of around $100.
Rosenfield said about three or four donors have given seven-figure donations. Getraer said, as a rule, 80 percent of the money comes from 20 percent of donors. The Wilf family, owners of the Minnesota Vikings, contributed $2 million, and the late Eric Ross donated $1.5 million. The Halpern family’s donation brought the total amount raised to $12 million, according to a Rutgers Hillel’s press release. That money will contribute toward the construction of a building that is considerably superior to Hillel’s old home, Getraer said. They hope to break ground next spring and finish their fundraising drive by the fall of 2015, when the new building is set to open. The facility’s plans include 33,000 square feet of space, including a student lounge, café, office space and a dining hall that can accommodate 350 people. Ariel Lubow, student board president of Rutgers Hillel, said the café could be convenient for students who keep Kosher. “We hope to make it even more accessible for students by making it possible to use RU
Express available at the cafe,” said Lubow, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. It also plans to contain three separate prayer spaces for adherents of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform denominations of Judaism. “Hillel is an umbrella organization for the Jewish community,” Getraer said. “We will have spaces for a variety of different Jewish religious services.” In their old house, he said, Hillel did not have enough space to accommodate several denominations in one location. Lubow, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, said the new building’s spaciousness is vital to the organization. “The University does not have a huge amount of space for student organizations to use,” she said. “Having our own building where we can gather as a community and have programming is especially important to us.” Since Hillel operates many programs for students interested in Israel, the new building will also house a center for Israel engagement, he said. It will also be equipped with a room designed specifically for student leadership to convene.

Hillel does not have any formal membership structure and plans to open its new home for the general public to use. “It’s going to have a front porch right on College Avenue that we hope ever ybody in the University will feel comfortable hanging out on,” Getraer said. “Any Rutgers student is open to pretty much any of our events.” Other Jewish groups on campus are also welcome to use Hillel’s space for their events, he said. “We have a group called JAQs, Jewish Allies and Queers,” Getraer said. “We have a group called Israel Advocacy and [our building] might be open to their constituency.” He said he hopes Hillel’s new central location on College Avenue will naturally make it a lively spot. “It’s actually designed so that the retaining wall in front of the front porch has benches,” Getraer said. “It’s designed to be a welcoming public space … I think there will be some excellent people-watching from the front porch.”
ALUMNUS Voorhees was honored by former President Ronald Reagan in 1983 continued from front
in Public Ser vice Fellowships, which is awarded annually to students working on research projects in community development and planning, community-based education, entrepreneurship, housing, public transportation, public health or public policy. “The endowment is always going to be there, and it will help to support research and the salaries of some staff,” Hughes said. Voorhees was a part of the Alan Center’s advisory board, and also chaired the Rutgers Foundation, he said. He was also honored for his national work with an award from former President Ronald Reagan in 1983. He was a member of the Board of Overseers until the past few years, when his health prevented him from contributing. Delehanty said Voorhees and his wife Barbara often motivated people to get involved. Voorhees took a delight in the people and world around him. Maitlin said Voorhees kept working with Rutgers because Rutgers was number one in his hear t. “He once said when he was young, his father had told him, ‘You should have just enough money to be comfortable, and give the rest to charity,’” he said. According to Rutgers Today, his wife, Barbara Beiser Voorhees, predeceases him. He is sur vived by his four children Judy, Mark, Jane and Alan Voorhees, his stepbrother, Fred Zimmerli, as well as 15 grandchildren. His funeral will be held Monday, Nov. 11 at 4 p.m. at the Reformed Church of Highland Park on 19-21 South 2nd Ave., Highland Park, according to Rutgers Today.

Surface found to be up to 1.5 degrees less than intermediate water temperatures
Habib says his truck has seen a 70 percent decrease in sales

The paper’s authors — Rosenthal, Linsley and Delia Oppo, a senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution — traveled to Indonesia to collect sediment samples in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. They utilized Proterozoic fossils of organisms called foraminifera that inhabit the sediment in the mid-depths of the ocean and secrete calcium carbonate shells. Linsley stated that the shells’ magnesium concentrations serve as paleo-thermometers. Warmer waters promote higher magnesium concentrations. “[We] were able to reconstruct Pacific intermediate water temperatures using [this] magnesium content … [to view] the last 10,000 years,” Linsley said. Data shows that temperatures have gone through extreme fluctuations over time, he said. A high temperature period known as the “Medieval Warm Period” occurred 1,500 years ago, and 400 years ago, temperatures reached a minimum during the “Little Ice Age.” Yet following that time, the trend reversed dramatically. Today’s 0.32 percent increase seems small, but it is quick for only 60 years, especially when multiplied by the ocean’s volume, Linsley said. Surface temperatures were also found to be up to 1.5 degrees less than intermediate water temperatures during some fluctuations, which is representative of water’s long-term effectiveness as a buffer. Rosenthal noted buffer temperature changes do not happen in a human lifetime, but instead over hundreds of years. He said one problem with the research is that they only have information for the last 60 years instrumentally and for 400 to 10,000 years ago through the shell data. The ambiguity lies in the gap between those periods. Current research is focused on bridging this gap with the continued use of the foraminifera, he said. The team has taken a recent voyage near Papua New Guinea for this purpose. For now, though, the researchers have already made a few of their own hypotheses about what is causing the discrepancies. “[This] could be … partly global warming, but it could also [be
that] … the ocean is still recovering from [the Little Ice Age], whereas the surface has long recovered … since it’s hard to penetrate the deep ocean,” Yair said. At this point, Braddock and Yair both agree that the team sees no immediate concern. “The best-case scenario is that the ocean … is taking more heat than we thought … [and] may be slowing down the warming,” Yair said. “That’s one way to look at it, which is my optimistic way.” Media sources, such as Science magazine and the British Broadcasting Corporation, have reported on these findings, which have been met with strong responses, especially by global warming skeptics, Braddock said. Yet Yair insists it is still too early to make any meaning from the findings. Whether the shift is natural or not is still unknown. “It doesn’t prove [global warming]. It just shows that [we have] a longer time scale to consider the response of the ocean,” he said. “The past few days have shown me that global warming became a religion. [Some people] believe in what they want to and discredit the others.” Yair would rather the public relax and wait to understand what further research finds out, he said. “This research is not driven by some political or policy agenda,” he said. What he feels really deserves more attention is the amount of participation and progress in his field at the University. “While there are three authors of this paper, there are a lot of Rutgers students that participated in this research, undergraduates and more, on the cruise and in the labs,” he said. “So it’s all really a community effort.” Emily Bryk is a science teacher who worked with Yair on his research in Indonesia as a graduate student. “Yair is a phenomenal and driven scientist, and I think that in his lab, there’s a real feeling that we were doing important work,” she said. By his team’s strong, continuing success in research, Yair shows that research at Rutgers yields critical and promising work. “I hope that we use these capabilities to essentially position [ourselves] as the leading institution to deal with this issue,” Yair said.

Sam Habib, owner of Just Delicious, said after the move, he has seen a significant loss of sales in his sandwiches. He attributes this mostly to the fact that no one knows where his new location is, compared to when all the trucks were grouped together. “Since the move, we have seen a 70 percent decrease in sales. The last eight years, business was from outside of the Rutgers community, 30 percent from the students,” he said. While the grease truck owners see the move as a blow to business, some students see the new locations as a convenience. Courtney Crosby, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said she enjoys the new truck locations. “It’s nice that they are scattered. If you’re coming from class, it’s convenient to have them outside,” she said. “It’s good to have them scattered, because not everyone lives on College Ave.” Remus Dejesus, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, said while he enjoys having the trucks on different campuses, he understands why the owners are losing business. “Businesswise, [Lot 8] was a hotspot,” he said. “Scott Hall is right there, everybody knew where they were. You would go after parties or after class. Now … there’s not a long line. There was always at least a little bit of a line over there at Scott Hall around lunchtime and dinnertime.” Located in a more central spot, Mr. C’s lunch truck is on College Avenue but has also seen a loss in sales. Ahmad Ewida, a cook on the truck, said sales have taken a hit since the move. Even with the passing student traffic, the business now sees shorter lines most of the day, and no line if the Rutgers Knight Wagon is parked on the same street. “It’s different because we are scattered all over the campuses. It was better when we were all together, it was like when you go to a dining hall,” he said. “There was different trucks, different food, all in one spot. It was more convenient. People knew where to go to eat. Now, there are so many choices.”
Despite some of the challenges he’s faced, Elnaggar said he is hopeful for the future of the trucks. Making sure his truck is open by 7 a.m., he now offers a breakfast menu and gives fresh coffee with breakfast sales. “We’ve been through a lot of challenges, first was making the trailer mobile,” he said. “Then we had a problem with the generator, we have to get another trailer for the generator. Moving the truck every night is a hell of a job.” Elnaggar said while his location is not central like it was on College Avenue, people have started showing up looking for his business specifically. “The beautiful thing is the people started coming. The good thing about R U Hungry? is the people come looking for us,” he said. “I believe it’s only a matter of time before we start doing very well in here.” Because of the move and the changes he had to make to his trucks, Elnaggar said he took the time to update his truck. He installed new grills, new floors and new fr yers. This was all to
help make better sandwiches for his customers. For R U Hungry?, the key is making good food, he said. Because of the move, the sandwiches now taste better than before. “We had great sandwiches before, don’t get me wrong,” he said. “Now they taste even better.” Along with adding a delivery service to the truck, Elnaggar said he also brings his truck to the home football games because it is mobile. Now he sells to the football crowd, then goes back to his spot on Douglass campus to sell to the night crowds. “We have lots of fun, take lots of pictures,” he said. “They are all excited when they see us. It’s a beautiful thing. I think we will do very well.” Despite being parked near the grease trucks, Elnaggar said the Knight Wagon is not associated with them and is a mobile food vendor provided by Rutgers. He does see it as competition, and he welcomes it. “I love competition,” he said. “Competition is good, it makes me work harder. It makes me think about new ideas, how I could improve my business.” While they are not located on Lot 8 anymore, which has seen no activity since it closed, the grease trucks are on campus and open for business on a daily basis.

Archivist says literary societies once dominated Rutgers culture By Cody Beltis Staff Writer Before sports and greek life, the most popular type of student organization at universities across the United States was the literary society. Rutgers College had two literary societies for just over a century. The Philocleans and the Peithessophians made for a well-rounded college experience from 1825 to 1927, according to the inventory archives of the Philoclean society. Tom Frusciano, the University archivist, said the societies played an important role in developing students’ skills in rhetoric, writing and debating, which emulated the classical education being taught in classrooms in the 19th century. “They really broadened the educational experience,” he said. “It sharpened their skills for public life — all of this debating was good experience for students, who would become lawyers, ministers or politicians.” Not only did they further develop a student’s classical education, he said, but they were also one of the only ways to access
modern literature in college. The University library in the early 19th century consisted almost entirely of theological texts. The two societies had their own diverse libraries that sought to increase members’ exposure to new forms of literature. He said many contemporary books from the 19th century currently in Rutgers’ libraries come from these literary societies’ collections. “As far as being at Rutgers, the literary societies were the only place to discuss modern texts,” he said. He said famous writers such as Mark Twain and other public figures like President James Buchanan were among several important persons invited as honorary members of the Philoclean and Peithessophian societies. The societies were very proud of their literary collections, and members kept them organized through a system of checking books and strictly enforcing due dates, he said. “They had a very sophisticated financial arrangement,” Frusciano said. “If you even missed a meeting you would be fined.”
Like most student organizations today, funding was up to the members, and the literar y societies suppor ted themselves through membership dues, fines and donations from alumni, he said. Faculty members and college administrators provided little in the way of financial assistance, but
“As far as being at Rutgers, the literary societies were the only place to discuss modern texts.” Tom Frusciano Rutgers Archivist
praised the societies as important to an effective college education, according to University records of the societies. “No matter how much you try to control your students, once they’re out and about, they’re going to drink or stay out too late,” said Frusciano. “Faculty members saw the literary society as a
very positive activity for students to occupy their free time with.” According to University records, the name “Peithessophian” is taken from the Greek meaning “persuasiveness of wisdom,” and “Philoclean” means “glory-loving.” The societies descended from the very first student-run organizations at Rutgers. These were the Athenian and Polemical literary societies of Queen’s College of the 18th century, according to University archives. Queen’s College would be reestablished as Rutgers College in 1825, which heralded the founding of the Philoclean and Peithessophian societies, Frusciano said. The Philocleans had a rivalry with the Peithessophians, and they would debate each other in preparation for debates with their ultimate rivals — literary societies from other schools, Frusciano said. Colleges at this time typically had two literary societies so they could sharpen their debate skills and go head-to-head, he said. “In 1845, the Committee of Inquiry charged Peithessophian
members with forcibly extracting secrets from a Philoclean member,” according to University records of the Philoclean society. The first appearance of a fraternity was also in 1845, with the introduction of Delta Phi to Rutgers. Secret societies, or fraternities, and intercollegiate sports grew in popularity following the civil war, said Frusciano. Faculty members highly preferred the academically based literary societies to the emerging secret societies, said Frusciano. “The fraternity was seen as a threat to the society, not necessarily a competitor,” the record said. Eventually, fraternities would gain significant popularity and outdo the literary societies, but for the latter half of the 19th century, the two coexisted and students would oftentimes be a part of both, according to the record. The two societies started to fade at the turn of the 20th century, as other, more social student groups sprouted at Rutgers, according to the record. With declining membership, Philocleans and Peithessophians merged into the Philosophical Society in 1932.

IN BRIEF NEWARK, N.J. — A northern New Jersey man apparently intent on helping first responders at a mall shooting this week has been charged with unlawful possession of a gun. Cody Donovan’s attorney says the 22-year-old “just wanted to help out” when he drove to Garden State Plaza on Monday night after reports of a shooter. The gunman, identified as Teaneck resident Richard Shoop, fired several shots inside the mall and later was discovered dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. No other injuries were reported. Donovan has been released on $25,000 bond. It’s not known when he will next appear in court. LOWER TOWNSHIP, N.J. — The mayor of a town in Cape May County says neighbors worked to free a couple trapped in the debris of a house that exploded. Lower Township officials tell WPVI-TV that the home blew up at about 4 p.m. yesterday. Mayor Michael Beck, who lives nearby, says it sounded louder than thunder. The blast leveled the house and sent debris flying onto neighboring properties and into the street. Beck says neighbors deserve “kudos” for teaming up to pull the couple out of the debris. Township Manager Michael Voll says new gas lines were just installed in the neighborhood. BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — Service on the Raritan Valley Line are operating on or close to schedule after an NJ Transit train struck a police car in Bridgewater earlier in the day. Service was temporarily suspended between Bridgewater and Raritan while the accident was investigated. NJ Transit spokesman John Durso Jr. says the police car was on the tracks and investigating reports of a trespasser when the accident occurred yesterday. Durso says the officer was taken to a hospital, but the injuries do not appear to be life-threatening. The police car suffered extensive damage to its left side. — The Associated Press

THIS WEEK’S PENDULUM QUESTION
MCT CAMPUS
WEEK IN REVIEW: Laurels and Darts APPALLING APOLOGY
WAY BETTER WAGES As college students, it’s difficult for us to find well-paying jobs that are worth our hours during the semesters when we’re busy trying to keep up our GPAs. As a state college, we laurel New Jersey voters’ approval of the minimum wage raise by $1 per hour. Now, instead of putting in so many working hours to live in this high-cost state, we can invest more of our time in academics and career hunts.
“I was an idiot, but I never abused anyone.” That’s what former men’s basketball head coach Mike Rice said when he finally broke his seven-month silence and came out with what is supposed to be considered a public apology. Like he didn’t cause enough of an outrage when footage of his abusive coaching style surfaced last year. Apparently for Rice, an apology doesn’t mean much more than a last-ditch attempt to save face. The disgraced delinquent deserves a dart for his lack of remorse for his actions. COMMEMORATING CLEMENTI
UNACCOMMODATING ADMINISTRATION Gov. Chris Christie crushed in the elections Tuesday night, but we’ve already got a dart for him. Our very own Daily Targum reporters were completely denied access to Christie’s victory speech for what would obviously have been a great journalistic opportunity. Admittedly, we mixed up our RSVPs, but there was hardly a distinct difference between the one meant for the public and press. This dart still goes to our governor and his staff for not making more of an effort to keep their own state university in the loop.
Most Rutgers students are familiar with Tyler Clementi, a student who committed suicide because of cyber bullying in 2010. We give a laurel to The Trevor Project and Tyler Clementi Center for coming together at the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum this week, where they revealed a sculpture in honor of Clementi. Here’s to the foundations for their inspiring act to keep Clementi’s memory alive.
CAFE CLOSING
FITNESS FANATIC Alyse Scaffidi’s passion for health and fitness is truly inspiring. This Ernesto Mario School of Pharmacy graduate student deserves a laurel for her BiteSizedFitness Instagram, Twitter and Facebook profiles that encourage followers to stay fit and healthy. We can’t think of a better way to show Rutgers students that hard work really does pay off!
The closing of the Scarlet Latte café in Alexander Library is disappointing, but as usual when it comes to the Scarlet Latte, not many people have really noticed. This dart goes to the lack of marketing and lousy food options offered by the Scarlet Latte while it was around. The potential for a convenient place to grab a quick bite inside the library is huge, and it’s a shame to see it being wasted.
The Daily Targum’s editorials represent the views of the majority of the 145th editorial board. Columns, cartoons and letters do not necessarily reflect the views of the Targum Publishing Company or its staff.
What do you hope to see in Chris Christie’s next term as governor of New Jersey?

Timeless fashion always a good choice AVANT-GARDE ADEY ZEGEYE
A
s of recent, I’ve been inspired by 1920s fashion. This new inspiration came from a variety of places, beginning with one of my favorite novels’ transition to the big screen. Film has a huge impact on my style, ideas and aspirations. The wonderful thing about fashion in film is its ability to reach and inspire countless people, and time is never a barrier. I found that the wardrobe in “The Great Gatsby” was seamless and beautiful. The style of the 1920s may not be what we put on today, but it continues to be an aspiration to me as well as many notable designers. In honor of timeless style in films, I composed a list of 12 items I believe are of timeless style. On a separate occasion, I had the pleasure of watching Frank Capra’s, “Meet John Doe,” featuring the beautiful Barbara Stanwyck. As my focus shifted from the 20s to the 40s, I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by the charm of her wardrobe. My favorite staple item she wore was a high-waisted, below-the-knee skirt. In my book, if you can captivate my attention in a simple skirt and blouse, you are doing something right. A flattering, long, high-waisted skirt has made it on my list of timeless style. In order to wear a skirt that is below the knees, I believe it’s best to tailor it to your body type. The slimmer you are, the more careful you should be
about getting the right fit. You don’t want to disappear in a skirt and lose the silhouette of your shape. Coincidentally, midi skirts have made a comeback, proving their victory against the test of time. The style has graced the runways and blogs this season, and it seems the bigger the skirt the better. In my opinion, I love this style in the ‘full’ design for a statement outfit as opposed to the regular-fit style seen in Meet John Doe. I feel that the long pencil skirt is geared toward elegance, and I would wear it in a more professional environment. In terms of playing with style and having fun with a statement piece, the full midi skirt is my go-to. At the same time, there are many styles of midi skirts that I adore. For regular-fit midi skirts, I like them to be high-waisted. For pencil skirts, I prefer mid-waisted in either above or below the knee styles. Before I get to my completed list, I want to mention another 19th-century gem. This year marks Chanel’s 100th anniversary. A large part of where I get my idea of timeless style is from my muse, my mother. One of my favorite items — and it kills me to pick one — is her rare, vintage black Chanel box bag. When I think of style, as you can tell by now, I like to think of eternal style. My mother’s wardrobe, and this bag, represents that to me. There is nothing more inspirational to me then watching the creativity of a single individual keep the pulse of Coco’s dream beating rampantly. Karl Lagerfeld did not leave behind Coco’s love for menswear, nor
her ability to turn traditional men’s attire into a playground for women’s fashion. I understand why Coco ditched the bustier for the button down. I also feel that women’s fashion doesn’t need to be limited by discomfort. That’s why I strive to find a balance in style that gives me the freedom to express and evolve myself. For this reason, Chanel effortlessly displays timeless style to me, and it’s clearly shown in my choice of pieces. Without any further delay, here is a small part of my on-going list of timeless items. 1. Chanel box bag 2. Chanel boyfriend bag in metallic silver 3. Classic Chanel flap bag in lambskin leather 4. White blouse (Theory) 5. Black fitted dress trousers (The Kooples or Helmut Lang) 6. Black fitted blazer 7. Midi skirts 8. Tweed jacket 9. Lace dress 10. Silk fitted tank dress 11. Leopard print jacket 12. Rabbit fur When in doubt, I always revert back to simplicity. Timeless items act likewise. I’ll top off my list with my favorite quote from Chanel, “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.” Adey Zegeye is a School of Arts and Sciences senior majoring in journalism and media studies with a minor in human resource management.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Buono bad investment for Democrats An article by Salvador Rizzo in The Star-Ledger headlined “National Dems Say: No Regrets on Buono,” gives an insight into the sort of cold and calculating world of national politics. The article talks about how the National Democrats backed their decision to give virtually zero support to gubernatorial candidate Barbara Buono, because the Virginia race was “a better investment.” Besides the obvious fact that it was, and that the party’s lack of faith in Buono really was not unfounded, it does lend insight. Nationally, to the insiders and strategists, politics is very much and always has been a numbers game and an investment just like any stock on the stock market. The cold truth is that no matter what your beliefs are, ideals don’t win elections — candidates do. The truth is, Barbara Buono was a bad investment who opened in the morning “trading low,” and closed out even lower. No one wants to “buy low, sell lower.” However, this is also why politics is a gamble for the wizards behind the campaign curtains. Because when — not if — Christie goes national, Democrats need to understand that they get what they pay for.

Misrepresentation of Hillel cannot go uncorrected COMMENTARY ARIEL LUBOW AND ANDREW GETRAER
I
n Tuesday’s Daily Targum, columnist Sara Zayed made a number of comments and accusations against Rutgers Hillel. We hesitate to respond, recognizing that most of the campus couldn’t care less. Foremost, the back and forth between pro-Israel and anti-Israel voices is just noise. We all have better things to do than add to the noise. However, the misrepresentation of Hillel by Zayed cannot go uncorrected. Her column references five particular events, dating back to 2010. To set the record straight, the first was Hillel’s opposition to a “U.S. to Gaza Fundraiser.” The event sought to raise funds to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza. Whatever your opinion of Israel’s blockade, a civilian attempt to violate the naval blockade of a friendly nation violates federal statute plans to violate a federal statute constitute conspiracy to commit a crime. For this reason Hillel characterized the event as a possible violation of federal law and an illegal criminal conspiracy. The University agreed with
“
Hillel and withheld all funds collected at the event, until BAKA identified a recipient with no taint of illegality. The second event was Hillel’s opposition to BAKA’s rally on the anniversary of Israel’s Operation Cast Lead. While we truly and profoundly regret the loss of every single civilian life, Palestinian and Israeli, Hillel opposed this rally because it presented a false and biased account of the conflict. The majority of casualties were Hamas combatants and Hamas purposefully placed its militants in civilian homes and even ambulances. This has been verified by Palestinians themselves, and in sworn testimony before the UN Human Rights Council. The third event was 2011’s “Never Again for Anyone” rally, at which Hillel’s student president was videotaped thanking a woman named Pamela Geller for her support. Students for Justice in Palestine asserts this as evidence that Hillel works with Geller, an outspoken anti-Islamist blogger. In fact, Hillel has never had any relationship with Geller. Rutgers Vice President of Student Affairs at the time, Greg Blimling, investigated the incident at the behest of BAKA and told us he determined Hillel was correct.
The truth is it was a chaotic and emotionally charged event. A woman put a camera in front of Hillel president Sarah Morrison and said “Will you thank Pamela Geller for all her support?” Sarah, having no idea who Geller was, obliged. This is the full extent of Hillel’s “relationship” with Geller, before or since. Blimling informed SJP/BAKA that this was a false accusation. The fourth incident also took place at “Never Again for Anyone.” A Muslim student was subjected to verbal abuse by a non-student protesting BAKA’s event, which compared Israeli policy in Gaza to the Nazi Holocaust. Hillel deeply regrets that anyone treated Muslim students disrespectfully. We had directed everyone to behave respectfully. Although the offending bigot was not a member of the Rutgers Hillel community, when we found out, we apologized to BAKA. We apologize once again to Hadiya Abdelrahman and the Muslim community. The behavior of that person does not represent us and has no place in the Hillel community. Finally, there is the recent issue of the SJP eviction notices. Too much has already been said about this, and we won’t belabor it. However, Hillel’s Rabbi Akiva Weiss was criticized specifically by Zayed
as biased. We found this ironic, as Rabbi Weiss co-authored the University Chaplains’ statement condemning the NYPD’s surveillance of Muslim students at Rutgers, and has participated in numerous interfaith panels. In fact, an SJP supporter libeled Weiss as “a terrorist” on the Muslim Student Association webpage because he participated in an MSA event together with an imam and a priest and the student didn’t like it. Which brings us full circle. In their quest to marginalize Hillel and the Jewish community, SJP and its supporters label rabbis as terrorists for participating in interfaith events and slander Hillel to detract from a campus-wide “Days Without Hate” event. Thankfully, “Days Without Hate” was a great success, co-sponsored by more than a dozen student organizations and the Committee to Advance Our Common Purposes. In the end truth and love will win out. It’s a lesson that we hope Zayed and SJP will learn someday. Ariel Lubow is a School of Arts and Sciences senior and student board president of Rutgers Hillel. Andrew Getraer is executive director of Rutgers Hillel.

SEASON Knights face No. 9-seeded Cincinnati in first round of AAC Tournament continued from back But since his month-long injury bout, Rutgers’ second-leading scorer has needed time to relocate his groove. “I’m doing anything to get myself back into it,” Eze said. “I think getting an assist against Central Florida [on Saturday] helps me move forward because I’m taking it one step at a time. The goals will come soon.” If they do not, Rutgers’ season might bitterly end this afternoon. The eighth-seeded Knights, who have not won since Oct. 5, must beat No. 9-seed Cincinnati in Louisville, Ky., in the first round of the AAC Tournament to extend their season. The winner advances to the quarterfinals tomorrow night against top-seeded Louisville. “Now we’re just in a situation where it’s one and done, and we haven’t done ourselves any favors by having to play in the play-in game,” said head coach Dan Donigan. “We just have to kind of put all the negative and the tough stuff behind us and come out and perform [today], and hopefully get a result so we live on to play the next game.” Injuries and inconsistencies derailed the second half of Rutgers’ schedule, culminating in a 437-minute scoring drought across five games that finally ended this past weekend. After most of the team’s 10 losses, Donigan lamented the Knights’ immaturity and lack of composure. Following a 2-1 defeat to the University of Central Florida, Donigan saw a team that is not done fighting.
Page 13 “We, for the majority of the game, outplayed them, really created some tremendously quality chances and unfortunately weren’t able to finish plays off,” Donigan said. “But the overall play was very good and the fact [is] our guys never stopped, they never gave up and they never shut down. … I told them that I thought they deserved better on the night.” With the season now on the line, a moral victory against Cincinnati (6-11-1, 1-7) does the Knights no good. Rutgers topped Cincinnati, 1-0, at home Oct. 5, but the Bearcats since beat Louisville and took two-seeded Connecticut to overtime. “By no means are we even remotely thinking about the Saturday game,” Donigan said. “We’ve got to take care of Cincinnati, who’s a very, very good team. Their record doesn’t indicate it, but they are very good.” Rutgers may have to advance without its third-leading scorer, sophomore forward Mitchell Taintor, at 100 percent. Taintor injured his hamstring Saturday and is questionable for Cincinnati. “He’s a pretty fast, powerful runner, so that’s something that you really have to be careful with,” Donigan said. “I’d say maybe at best you might have a 10- or 15-minute bout in him in each half. But again, he’s a tough kid, he’s a competitive kid and he’s going to want to be out there on the field.” That puts an even greater emphasis on Eze’s speed and scoring prowess up top. His career will come to an end with another loss, but not before he has a final say in the Knights’ season. “We know we can play with anybody if we just play our game,” Eze said. “So we’re looking forward to the opportunity.”
arrest Flood says hardest adjustment for rookie cornerbacks is adjusting to speed continued from back participated in practice since. “I learned a lot,” Barnwell said. “I almost threw everything away like that. I definitely talked to God. I talked to my family. I talked to the coaches. I really understand what I took for granted, thinking I’m always going to have football in my life and I almost threw it away — the one thing I really love.” Freshman cornerback Anthony Cioffi said he saw the same competiveness Barnwell possessed before his arrest this week. He witnessed it since they roomed together during training camp. “He’s handled it great,” Cioffi said. “It’s just adversity, for him. He just has to show himself and I know he’ll do it.” With the arrest behind him, Barnwell now must earn back the starting role he vacated. Freshman cornerback Delon Stevenson replaced Barnwell against the Owls, producing an interception and two quarterback hurries. Redshirt freshman Ruhan Peele is also set to play corner against the Bearcats. Flood said he will have to see more in practice before he can make a decision on who will start in the Knights’ next
game Nov. 16 against Cincinnati, though at least one true freshman corner will see time in a starting capacity. It is a role Flood knows is difficult for any rookie. “I think the toughest thing for a corner is that when they do it in high school — if they do it in high school — a lot of times they overmatch the people they play against,” Flood said. “In college football, you are going to be playing against 21-, 22-year-old men who are just as big, just as strong, just as fast as you are.” Even if he does not reclaim the starting position he held for four games this season, Barnwell is fine with that. He just wants to make sure he never puts his team in bad positions from off-field mistakes. “I know the coaches are going to do what’s best for the program,” Barnwell said. “What worked last game I’m sure they’re going to try to have it work next game. My biggest thing is to try to earn my way back into the rotation as much as I can and add as much as I can to the team.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Bradly Derechailo on Twitter @Bradly_D.

SIGHTS Knights look to stop offensive-minded Memphis squad, play complete game continued from back goal-scoring team in the league, so they’re very dangerous.” Memphis also boasts the toptwo goal scorers in the AAC in forwards Valerie Sanderson and Christabel Oduro, with 17 and 15 goals, respectively. The Tigers toppled No. 2 Louisville on Sunday in double overtime, 2-1, behind two Sanderson goals, breaking the single-season scoring record for a freshman at Memphis. Oduro knocked in four goals in
seven minutes in last Friday’s 6-0 win against Houston in the Tigers’ firstround match. Forward Kaitlyn Atkins leads the conference in assists with 16, averaging 0.84 per game. The trio accounts for 33 goals, 27 assists and 93 points. Senior goalkeeper Jessica Janosz knows what her team needs to do defensively to stop the Tigers. “I think that we need to stay tucked in. I think that we need to be good in the air,” she said. “And I think we need to have strong communication between the backline
to make sure that the midfielders are tucked in and that we drop together as a line and step up together as a line.” Crooks stressed the importance of playing a complete game after Sunday’s last-minute win over Cincinnati. “One of the things that we do need to be better at is being more consistent throughout the match,” Crooks said. “You hear coaches say it all the time in football, ‘you need to play 60 minutes.’ In soccer it’s playing a full 90 or whatever overtime you may have to play.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow Lauren Green on Twitter @LGreenWPSoccer.

WRESTLING BINGHAMTON OPEN
Knights focus on ending streak By Sean Stewart Staff Writer
Serving, passing and defense. Those are the principles Rutgers head volleyball coach CJ Werneke instilled in his players this season. But when the Scarlet Knights (4-21, 0-11) host Central Florida (16-7, 7-3) tonight at the College Avenue Gym, they will need consistency to end their 11-game winless drought. To achieve that, Werneke believes a strong performance from his middle blockers is key. Junior middle blocker Rachel Andreassian maintains a solid third season, while sophomore middle blocker Mikaela Matthews registered a career-high nine blocks against Houston. Werneke likes what he has seen from the pair and believes their strong play is essential. “Our middles are going to have some great opportunities to impact the match and so they’re going to
have to step it up offensively,” Werneke said. “When our middles play well, it opens up everything else offensively and when they don’t it kind of bogs things down. So we spent all week really working with them and hopefully that translates to being an impact [today] and Sunday.” If the Knights long for a weakness to expose Central Florida, they may have a difficult time. UCF places among the top of every major statistical category in the AAC, including first in blocks averaged with 2.97 per set. Central Florida features five players who have more than 100 kills this season, led by middle blocker DeLaina Sarden. Sarden sits sixth in the conference in kills per set. The stat does not alleviate any concerns the Knights have with alleviating a loss at the hands of UCF earlier in the season. Rutgers lost in straight sets Oct. 6 when it faced UCF. Werneke feels the team showed they could compete. UCF also re-
corded six of its seven losses on the road. “Central Florida is a real physical team,” Werneke said. “They have great net play, size and athleticism at the net, but I don’t think they’re as good of a defensive passing team. So we really have to capitalize getting past their block offensively and being aggressive serving-wise to make their offense more predictable.” The Knights will also host conference rival South Florida (13-11, 7-3) this Sunday. Rutgers visited the Bulls on Oct. 4 to open its road conference schedule. The Knights failed to lead the entire match and posted a season-worst -.035 hit percentage. South Florida was on a five-game winning streak before falling in straight sets Nov. 1 to Central Florida. Sophomore outside hitter Erin Fairs leads South Florida. Fairs tops the conference with 3.66 kills per set and has 305 kills on the year.

RU seeks revenge against Wildcats By Sean Stewart Staff Writer
The Rutgers swimming and diving team prepared to exact some revenge against a familiar foe. The Scarlet Knights host former Big East rivals Villanova, Georgetown and Seton Hall today and Saturday at the Rutgers Aquatic Center. Rutgers fell just short of winning the quad meet last year, as the Knights defeated the Hoyas (1-3) and Pirates (3-2) but fell just short to the Wildcats (1-4), 179-173. Rutgers finished just behind Villanova at the Big East Championships, where the Wildcats edged the Knights by four points. “We’re looking to win all three meets,” said head coach Phil Spiniello. “Last year we lost to Villanova … and I think that’s not sitting well with the team and we are ready to change that this weekend.” The Knights enter the quad meet with early-season momentum. They earned several
top-five finishes in their first meet Oct. 19 at the Sonny Werblin Invitational. Then Rutgers captured 12 of 16 events in its first dual meet of the season to defeat Wagner (7-1). While the early-season success is promising, senior swim captain Allyson Perrotti admits the upcoming quad meet will be more intense. “With the mentality of the Villanova meet versus the Wagner meet, we are more mentally prepared and ready to go,” Perrotti said. “Wagner was more of a race-prep meet and this meet we all really want to win so there should be some much faster times than in the last meet.” The Knights took the two weeks off between meets to work on race details to sharpen up their starts, turns and finishes, which Spiniello believes cost the team in some of their close races against the Seahawks. Senior Brittany Guinee believes the squad can still pull out some nice times. Guinee, who set a school record in the 200
butterfly, captured a first-place finish in the 100 butterfly at last year’s quad meet. “I feel pretty confident,” Guinee said. “I will most likely be doing my three best events at this meet. And I know it’s still early in the season, but I already feel pretty prepared to do well in my events and it should be a really emotional and intense meet.” The Knights’ histor y against Villanova will certainly increase intensity. The Knights’ main goal is to finish well at the AAC championships and NCAA championships, but a matchup against the Wildcats is viewed as one of their most important meets of the season. “Ever yone really wants revenge over last year,” Perrotti said. “Ever since my freshmen year, we have gone back and for th with Villanova, and this year I think our stronger swimmers outweigh their stronger swimmers.” For updates on the Rutgers swimming and diving team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.
Freshman 141-pounder Anthony Ashnault will be one of Rutgers’ redshirts to compete in the Binghamton Open. ENRICO CABREDO / EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Open provides redshirt with challenging foe By Bradly Derechailo Associate Sports Editor
It was not the most comfortable situation when Anthony Ashnault faced Tyson Dippery last weekend in the Clarion Open. “It was awkward,” Ashnault said. “As teammates, it’s always kind of weird when you wrestle.” The freshmen 141-pounders wrestled to a 4-3 decision in favor of Ashnault, one of the many tests Dippery will face this season wrestling unattached. “We wrestle with each other every day, but we knew we had to put that all to the side and wrestle for seven minutes and he happened to come out on top,” Dippery said. “It was a hard-fought match.” Three grapplers — Ashnault, Dippery and Corey Stasenko — will all compete at 141 pounds this weekend at the Binghamton Open for the Rutgers wrestling team. That amount of wrestlers from one program at one weight is not unusual, as opens allow the Scarlet Knights’ redshirts and younger members to perform in a competitive setting. Head coach Scott Goodale will send all but five of his wrestlers to the open, though he will keep an extra eye on the younger wrestlers. “We’re not going to have a lot of opportunities to see [the redshirts], and for our young guys, it’s a tournament-type feel,” Goodale said. “Guys that might not make our lineup all year will have an opportunity to watch those guys.”
But Goodale is also weary of the open’s depth. Goodale said the field features Penn State and all 10 Ivy League programs, which includes Cornell and Harvard. Ashnault is also aware he can turn some heads Sunday with a steady performance. If Ashnault, who placed third in the Clarion Open, advances deep into his weight class, he has a chance to face Cornell’s Mike Nevinger. Nevinger finished fifth at the NCAA Championships last season en route to his second-straight All American nod. “My goal’s to knock him off and beat him,” Ashnault said. “I’m just trying to go into this weekend and get first place, but I’m going to take it one match at a time.” That will be the mindset for Ashnault, who will redshirt for Goodale this season. Goodale said as a redshirt, a grappler could expect to see as many as 40 matches in one season. With the possibility of facing one of the top 141-pounders in the country this weekend, Ashnault embraces the challenge. “I just need to get as many matches as I can right now,” Ashnault said. “I’m just trying to get as much as possible from this season and win as many matches as I can.” For updates on the Rutgers wrestling team, follow Bradly Derechailo on Twitter @Bradly_D.

Which Rutgers head basketball coach do you predict will earn their paycheck this season? Fast Facts SOURCE: PROFOOTBALL.COM, SPORTSREFERENCE.COM
• Rutgers head men’s basketball coach Eddie Jordan was hired in April and will make $1.05 million.
• Rutgers head women’s basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer will make
$1.035 million in the last year of her contract.
• Under Stringer, the Rutgers women’s basketball team went 16-14 while missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002.

“I think the men’s basketball coach is going to earn his paycheck more because he’s got bigger shoes to fill coming behind Mike Rice. He’s got to prove to Rutgers that he’s the right coach for the job.”
“I think that Coach Stringer is going to earn her paycheck more this year just because she’s already established herself as a coach, having over 900 career wins. And then, also just because [her] teams have proven to do better over time than the men’s team has.”
“I feel like the women’s team is going to go further, so she should get equal [pay]. But I feel like she’s going to earn it more than he will. Recently the men’s basketball team hasn’t really done that well.”
“Eddie Jordan, because he played here, he knows what is up. He’s had a successful career here, I’m pretty sure. He was in the NBA, obviously he’s going to bring that NBA instinct [that] you can’t really get anywhere else.”
“The women’s basketball coach because she already knows what’s going on and the new [men’s basketball coach] kind of has to figure everything out before he can establish himself as a good coach.”
“[C. Vivian Stringer], because she has a history of coaching and she has over 900 career wins. She has a past that has a pretty solid résumé.”
SPORTS DESK EDITORIAL
Stringer has done less and less with top recruiting. The trend culminated last season, when the Knights missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002. Stringer, 65, is past her prime. Her 900th victory in March was more a celebration of a Hall of Fame career than a symbol of her present coaching abilities. Stringer is being paid for the past and not the present. She is making the same amount she was in 2007, when deep postseason runs were the norm. With another young team featuring no seniors this season, it is doubtful she will replicate that success and earn her paycheck. Even though Jordan is making more money, his contract is mostly a product of the Big Ten. He has proven professional coaching ability and needs to be given a chance. Stringer, meanwhile, has a significant sample size of recent failures with top recruits.

the conference, so Jordan has nowhere to go but up with this team. Rice failed to even make an NIT appearance in three seasons after promising a dramatic turnaround upon his arrival. Jordan just needs to alleviate more of the bad memories associated with the Rice era to earn his paycheck. In essence, Jordan is replacing a repeated player abuser who plummeted the program’s standard to rock bottom. There is little doubt he can and will raise Rutgers’ standards. Stringer, on the other hand, faces NCAA Tournament qualification expectations. Her salary of $1.035 million was signed in a seven-year contract following the team’s run to the national championship game in 2007. The base salary was chosen to match former head football coach Greg Schiano’s extension that year. But Stringer’s results have progressively declined. Since making that Final Four run,

Their salaries are nearly identical, but Rutgers head men’s and women’s basketball coaches Eddie Jordan and C. Vivian Stringer face drastically different expectations this season. With virtually no precedent to fulfill, Jordan simply needs to compete to live up to his base salary from the University. Even as the state’s highest-paid employee, at $1.05 million, the former NBA coach is taking over a program still reeling from the fallout of the Mike Rice player abuse scandal. Multiple players transferred and the Scarlet Knights have since faced the brunt of national scrutiny. The program, still without any NCAA Tournament appearances since 1991, is seen as a laughingstock. Yet Jordan was able to piece together a roster when most want to stay far away from Rutgers right now. He deserves credit before the team has even played a game.

WOMEN’S SOCCER MEMPHIS-RUTGERS, TONIGHT, 7:30 P.M., AAC TOURNAMENT SEMIFINAL
Rutgers sets sights on AAC title match By Lauren Green Contributing Writer
The Rutgers women’s soccer team finds itself in a position it has not been in since 2006. With a win tonight, the Scarlet Knights then play for a conference title. Before the Knights (13-4-2, 5-3-1) can jump into the AAC final, they cannot overlook their semifinal matchup with seventh-seeded Memphis (13-7-0, 4-5-0). The two programs first met Oct. 4 at Yurcak Field, which resulted in a 3-2 Rutgers victory. Junior forward Stefanie Scholz picked up an early score in the game, and senior forward Jonelle Filigno added two goals. While the Knights won, Filigno noted a major takeaway from that match. “We have to stay up and not step back on our heels and defend for most of the game once we’re up,” she said. “So our goal is just to continue to go at them with attacking from the first minute to the 90th minute or 110th minute.” The Tigers enter the match with a four-game winning streak in which they have outscored their opponents, 16-2. The Tigers also lead the AAC in goals scored with 51. Head coach Glenn Crooks is aware of Memphis’ attacking strength. “I look at Memphis and they’re the most creative attacking team in the league, I think, and they have legitimate goal scorers from both the front line and the midfield,” he said. “So they’re very difficult to defend. They’re the leading Senior forward Jonelle Filigno scored twice in the Knights’ 3-2 win Oct. 4 against Memphis. Filigno is second on the team in both goals and points this season and leads the team in game-winning goals with five. DENNIS ZURAW / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

He was involved in a single-car accident on the corner of Route 18 and Campus Road in Piscataway. Rutgers head football coach Kyle Flood suspended Barnwell from all team activities leading up to and including the Scarlet Knights’ 23-20 victor y last Saturday against Temple.

Back in July, Kene Eze confidently stated the Rutgers men’s soccer team would go as far as he goes this season. With the Scarlet Knights’ disappointing campaign hanging by a thread four months later, the senior for ward’s prediction was accurate. Eze spent the last three regular-season games rounding into form after a nagging hamstring injur y sidelined him for nearly all of eight contests from Sept. 20 to Oct.15. The Knights (5-10-2, 2-5-1) captured just two wins in Eze’s absence, scoring three total goals. Rutgers won three of four prior, when Eze scored three goals himself. See season on Page 13
