Sixth annual Big Pink Volleyball raises $3,145 to battle cancer AVALON ZOPPO STAFF WRITER
The Werblin Recreation Center on Busch campus was pink from head to toe on last night for the sixth annual “Big Pink Volleyball Tournament.” More than 450 students split into 50 different teams to play volleyball and support the fight against breast cancer, said Karen Lakomy, coordinator of special programs at Residence Life. The tournament was organized by Rutgers Residence Life with help from Rutgers Recreation in order to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the world’s largest breast cancer foundation. The Susan G. Komen Foundation has funded more than $800 million for research and more than $1.7 billion for screening, education, treatment and psychosocial support. It has ser ved millions in more than 30 countries worldwide since 1982, according to its website. Rutgers Big Pink Volleyball tournament raised $3,145 between registration fees and donations to contribute to these numbers. Organizers set up tables with information about breast cancer. Other tables sold food, bracelets and T-shirts, with proceeds donated to the foundation. Students donned pink bandanas, homemade T-shirts with breast cancer slogans and apparel promoting their residence halls. The first two hours of the tournament began with 10-minute games between College Avenue and Cook-Douglass teams. Busch and Livingston residence halls faced off at 1:00 pm. In finals, six teams played each other in a best two-out-of-three format with 15-minute games. After the first round of finals, the three winning teams competed in a consolation match and championship match. Trevor Nakata, team member of the “Team Mattia” from Mattia Hall on Busch campus, said his team lost by one point with a score of 6-5. “It’s for a good cause, so it really doesn’t matter if you lose,” said Nakata, a School of Engineering first-year student. “It was still a fun experience.” The Scarlet Knight arrived on scene to bring energy to the spectators and motivate the players, Lakomy said. Members of team “Forest Bump” were excited to not only spend their Sunday raising money for breast cancer research, but to dominate the competition as well, SEE VOLLEYBALL ON PAGE 7

Rutgers secures bowl eligiblity with victory GREG JOHNSON SPORTS EDITOR
Gary Nova took a few minutes to soak in his surroundings, knowing it was a scene he was never going to see again. He glanced up into the crowd and cherished the hear tfelt ovations from the Piscataway faithful. He made his way through the sea of teammates and coaches he spent so many hours and days
living a dream with, embracing them one by one. One final time, the Rutgers football team’s senior quarterback stood at the forefront of the end zone, as the Scarlet Knights recited “On the Banks of the Old Raritan” to the student section. And then Nova walked of f the field he called home for 25 games in four seasons, never to play at High Point Solutions Stadium again.
“I’ve been through a lot of that field,” Nova said. “It’s kind of a weird feeling.” What Rutgers accomplished Saturday also made it a rewarding one, as the Knights (6-4, 2-4) became bowl eligible for the ninth time in 10 seasons with a 45-23 victory against Indiana (3-7, 0-6). Only this time, it meant something a little extra. Few pundits gave Rutgers a fighting chance to reach six wins in its
inaugural Big Ten season, and with plenty of reasonable skepticism. Rutgers’ non-conference tilt featured challenging road games at Washington State and Navy. The Knights then had to endure the most difficult Big Ten schedule based on last season’s win totals. An ESPN.com July projection of the East Division pegged Rutgers to hover in the range of four to five wins SEE ELIGIBILITY ON PAGE 5

U. celebrates international influences in education DAN COREY STAFF WRITER
Chefs at Brower Commons will teach students to prepare a Vietnamese soup and an Indian chicken dish tonight at the “International Cooking Class,” the kickoff event for the 15th annual International Education Week. IEW, a joint initiative between the United States Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education, begins today and runs through Friday, celebrating the diversity of
American students studying abroad and international students studying in the U.S. Organized by the Rutgers Centers for Global Advancement and International Af fairs, in coordination with several departments and student groups, IEW at Rutgers is geared toward college students entering the global society after graduating.

The Rutgers University Police Department is responding to recent crimes with an increased police presence on College Avenue and the surrounding streets, said Lt. Brian Emmett in an email statement. In the fifth and sixth wards, RUPD is jointly patrolling with the New Brunswick Police Department to identify the perpetrators of recent crimes, including a string of robberies, he said in the statement. The statement comes at the same time as news of a home burglar y on Stone Street, where a group of perpetrators entered a resident’s home and stole his proper ty while restraining him with a baseball bat. Emmett said the increased police presence is intended to assist the public, strengthen community contacts and deter criminal activity. “These high-visibility patrols are deployed throughout the evening hours and utilize of ficers on foot and in vehicles,” he said. The of ficers are a combination of dif ferent patrol types. Since Aug. 21, the of ficers have used the Neighborhood Police Team to patrol of f-campus areas on foot and by bicycle, Emmett said. To supplement the patrols, the forces have deployed of ficers in uni-
form and plain clothes to patrol the streets. On Nov. 6 and Nov. 9, RUPD and the Of fice of Student Af fairs issued a Community Aler t flyer that Public Safety personnel along with volunteers from Student Life, Residence Life and the Of fice for Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance distributed to students walking on-campus and of f-campus. The aler t was meant to increase awareness about recent crimes and reassure the Rutgers community that RUPD is working to end the crime. “This action enabled University of ficials to address concerns and provide impor tant safety tips to faculty, students and staf f,” Emmett said. RUPD has made two arrests connected with robberies that occurred of f-campus on Nov. 6 and Nov. 9. RUPD of fers programs on crime prevention and awareness. He gave some general tips for crime deterrence. “Members of the Rutgers community can reduce their chances of becoming a crime victim by walking in groups at night, remaining aler t and aware of their surroundings and immediately repor ting suspicious activity to law enforcement,” he said.

VICTORY Shutout win over La Salle propels Knights into second round against Virginia CONTINUED FROM BACK a sense of rejuvenation and rebirth to the beginning of what many within the program viewed as a new season. With the emphasis on conviction and aggression to establish control of the match early on, the Knights did just that three minutes into the game. From 20 yards out, junior for ward Amanda DeVolk sent in what initially appeared to be a cross, but the kick bent closer toward the net. La Salle goalkeeper Jessica Wiggins tried to secure the save but could only get one hand on the ball before it ricocheted into the net to give Rutgers the early 1-0 advantage. The Knights proceeded to bur y the Explorers. Rutgers racked up 11 shots while La Salle managed just one in the first half alone, eventually winning on the shooting end with a 17-6 advantage. Stef Scholz added to the margin for the Knights shortly after the second half got under way. The senior for ward received a nifty pass from sophomore midfielder Madison Tiernan in the box, and all she had to do from there was tap the ball in for the goal in the 54th minute. Scholz’s seventh goal of the season sparked Rutgers to a
November 17, 2014 commanding 2-0 lead in the second half. While it was likely her final game in Piscataway, Scholz felt refreshed knowing she left on a high note after a 1-0 overtime collapse against Northwestern one month ago on Senior Day. “It feels really good to finish strong and score in my last game at Yurcak and just a really good way to end at home,” Scholz said. “So I’ll always have that memory with me going forward.” The Knights held it together on defense the rest of the way. Controlling the ball for a huge chunk of time, Rutgers ensured
“The girls played really well and played good on both sides of the ball, so that’s exciting to watch for our coaching staff.” MIKE O’NEILL Head Coach
La Salle couldn’t generate anything offensively. Freshman goalkeeper Casey Murphy recorded three saves in her NCAA Tournament debut, helped by a stout effort from Rutgers’ backline. Junior defenders Brianne Reed, Maggie Morash and Erica Skroski powered through all 90 minutes of the contest to aid Murphy near the net. Noting the aura of the atmosphere created by fans, friends and family, Murphy couldn’t get enough of her first
taste of the biggest stage for collegiate soccer. “The environment was honestly nothing compared to club soccer,” she said. “Just having all your family and friends in the stands and knowing you have to win to advance and all the pressure that goes along with that, I mean, personally, I love postseason play and was very excited to get the ‘W.’” The first home NCAA Tournament win for the Knights since Nov. 10, 2012 bolstered their record at Yurcak Field to 9-1 on the season. Getting back to the brand of soccer the team is accustomed to, Rutgers seems to have turned the page from its lapse late in the season at the right time. With a trip to No. 2-seed Virginia (19-2) looming Friday in the next round, the obstacles project to only grow more challenging. But O’Neill feels comfortable with what he has seen from his players, which gives him enough reason to believe the Knights are on the right path entering their next match as underdogs. “The quality [of play] has been there, but that’s our final product,” he said. “I think the thing that’s most important is our brand of soccer is a possession-oriented brand of soccer. You have to choose the chances when you want to go after people. The girls played really well and … on both sides of the ball, so that’s exciting to watch for our coaching staff.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow @ TargumSpor ts on Twitter.
OPENER Scaife drops game-high 23 points for RU in her season debut at RAC CONTINUED FROM BACK we were just on top of them,” said head coach C. Vivian Stringer. “We were there with them at the catch as man-to-man is our bread and butter, and it is something we will begin to add along with fullcourt pressure.” While the Knights’ defense was clicking from the start of the game, the team’s offense took some time to shake off the rust from the offseason. Rutgers only shot 34.3 percent from the field — forfeiting seven turnovers in the first half alone — but still went into halftime with a 3024 lead in large part to its defense. Once the second half started, the rhythm and fast-paced offense Rutgers was known for last season came alive. The Knights poured in 46 points and shot 62.1 percent from the field in the second half alone. They scored 24 points off the fast break to St. Joseph’s two — a clear sign the offense found its way in the final 20 minutes of the game. “I think at times we were impatient in the first half because we needed to continue to attack and we started settling for jumpers,” Stringer said. “When we started moving the ball quickly we were getting the open jumpers, which are more likely to fall because it’s all in a flow.” Senior wing Betnijah Laney had her first double-double of the year
with 10 points and 13 rebounds, junior wing Kahleah Copper totaled 14 points and junior guard Briyona Canty poured in 16 points, eight assists and five rebounds in a strong all-around game. Sophomore guard Tyler Scaife led all scorers with 23 points, shooting perfect from the field in the second half after going 3-9 the first half. Scaife admitted to starting slow, but said her confidence is what allowed her to come out aggressively and set the tone in the second half. “Having an extra year definitely has helped my confidence, but I feel like I’m naturally that way,” Scaife said. “I have a lot of confidence and having my team behind me helps me out, as well when I’m out there on the court.” Rutgers held advantages in rebounds (41-39), points in the paint (34-16) and points off of turnovers (24-7). With a strong start, the Knights are expecting nothing but improvement with each game they play. “We were just trying to build off of where we left off last year in winning the WNIT,” Laney said. “This win was good for us because everyone played well, no one struggled, and moving forward we just want to continue to progress.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s basketball team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

Students break silence on sexual violence at ‘24 Hour Truce’ DAN COREY AND NATASHA TRIPATHI STAFF WRITERS
Students powered through 24 hours of events and discussion from Friday to Saturday to raise awareness on sexual assault and harassment. Ruth Anne Koenick, director of the Office of Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance, said the theme of this event was conceptualized in recognition of a speech Andrea Dworkin made in 1983 at the Midwest Regional Conference of the National Organization for Changing Men. In her speech, Dworkin asked for “one day of respite,” where no agonies are added to the old ones. Staff members wore matching T-shirts with Dworkin’s quote printed on the back. She said survivors of sexual harassment and sexual assault remind VPVA staff of why they create such events, get up in the middle of the night and stay in the office until daybreak. Laura Luciano, assistant director at VPVA, said the end goal of the day’s programming was to have audience members and event participants leave talking about sexual assault instead of dismissing it as someone else’s problem. Luciano said VPVA organized various workshops, such as a media literacy program, which taught students how the media they consume might contribute to rape culture. The “24 Hour Truce” was meant to encourage all individuals to feel comfortable speaking out against sexual assault, and ed-
ucate students about prevention strategies, Luciano said. She said the only way rape culture would end is if society stops relying only on victims to raise awareness. “We can’t rely on only victims to speak out,” she said. “We need to stand in solidarity with them. We also can’t rely on people telling perpetrators and abusers to tell them not to do what they’re doing because that isn’t going to change their behavior.” The most effective way of ensuring that others also become involved in the discussion is by educating them about bystander intervention, Luciano said. Because of this, a large portion of the programs was dedicated to this prevention strategy. A performance by SCREAM Theater, which stands for Students Challenging Realities and Educating Against Myths, kicked off the day of anti-rape programming. Presenting an improvised skit of an on-campus sexual assault, SCREAM promotes bystander intervention as the best means of preventing violence. Brady Root, prevention education coordinator for VPVA and coordinator of SCREAM Theater, said bystander intervention is simply an aspect of civic virtue. “Bystander intervention is a fancy term for the common concept of everybody being responsible for creating the world that we want to live in,” Root said. For the keynote event, the organizers screened a recording from Jessica Valenti, an activist and Rutgers alumna, and hosted a talk with Wagatwe Wanjuki. Wanjuki, a writer and Rutgers
alumna, said certain elements of modern culture do not contribute to the discussion on rape. Before getting expelled from Tufts University as an undergraduate, Wanjuki was in an abusive relationship that the university did not act on when she reported it. She said the experience was devastating because she had hoped for justice. Instead, she went to the campus judicial project, which also did not take action. After being rejected on multiple occasions, Wanjuki said she just tried to continue with her activism and academic career. “I was oppressed when I was raped and when I was in an abusive relationship,” she said. “It was the school’s responsibility to counter that oppression. Instead of countering that, they compounded on that oppression.” Wanjuki said rape exists due to rapists, not because women drink, date angry men or wear short skirts. Erasing the perpetrator and highlighting the victim is a flaw in reasoning, she said. “We’re still talking about rape like it has something to do with drinking,” she said. “Getting drunk doesn’t get you raped. Being in the presence of a rapist gets you raped.” Wanjuki said she is beyond impressed and pleased to see that years after her sexual assault, sexual assault prevention is a huge issue on campus. “Why are schools so willing to kick a student out when they cheat on a test but not when they break the law and break a student? Where are their priorities?” she said.
Laura Luciano, assistant director of the Office of Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance, says she attended her first “24 Hour Truce” in the 1990s. COURTESY OF LAURA LUCIANO Although the event was organized by VPVA, 16 sponsors financially backed the day’s anti-rape workshops, including the School of Communication and Information and student organizations such as the Interfraternity Council and the Rutgers University Programming Association. Matthew Ferguson, interim director of New Student Orientation and Family Programs, said anti-rape education must extend beyond first-year students.
While he is excited to see such unity at Rutgers in the fight against rape culture, Ferguson is also proud of the University for being one of the leaders in the fight. “More and more universities, school districts and other public organizations [have been] in the spotlight for negative reasons concerning the issue of sexual assault,” Ferguson said. “We’re proud that we are a place that is not only supportive, but leading the cause.”

ELIGIBILITY Rutgers’ sixth win comes against Indiana with two games to spare in inaugural Big Ten season CONTINUED FROM FRONT
total. The calculations projected every other team to seize at least six. But with two games to spare, Rutgers showed that while it isn’t among the conference’s best, it had no intentions of being a pushover, either. “Going into the season, we knew a lot of people were going to count us out,” said senior strong safety Lorenzo Waters. “People may not think that we’re a big-time football program, and we kind of put that on our back this offseason, working toward just being a great team and coming together and using that to propel us forward.” But mired in a three-game losing streak coming in, securing bowl eligibility on this day did not look promising for a while. After electing to defer the opening kickoff, Indiana recovered an onside kick to blindside Rutgers. Minutes later, the Hoosiers took an early 3-0 lead. With a committee of four running backs looking to jumpstart Rutgers’ stagnant offense, the Knights produced merely 20 rushing yards in the first quarter. Sophomores Desmon Peoples and Justin Goodwin fumbled once each, with Goodwin’s lost in Rutgers territory. Even after the Knights established a 10-6 lead midway through the second quarter, a decisive turn of events late in the half dangled the script of another Piscataway nightmare. Rutgers faced fourth-and-one from Indiana’s 33-yard line with 36 seconds left, opting to go for it given the Hoosiers had only one timeout left. But freshman running Josh Hicks fell short of the first-down marker, and then the nation’s second-leading rusher took matters into his own hands. On the very next snap, Indiana’s Tevin Coleman burst to the right sideline on a read-option play and ran 67 yards untouched into the end zone to give the Hoosiers a 1310 lead. Sophomore Janarion Grant returned the ensuing kickof f 71 yards, but with four seconds left, junior kicker Kyle Federico’s 47-yard field goal tr y missed of f the crossbar. “I was concerned,” said head coach Kyle Flood. “It was something that we had to address at halftime. ... One of the things I said to them was we can play a lot
better than we played in the first half. And when you’re at halftime down three and you don’t feel like you’ve played very well, there’s a lot to feel good about as you come out for the second half.” The Knights received the message loud and clear. “It was very calm,” Nova said of the mood at halftime. “We had two fumbles — we lost one, a couple penalties. [We were] really just hurting ourselves, and … a lot of older guys were just saying, ‘We’ve been here before. We’ve just got to make the corrections.’ Coach Friedgen said, ‘Hey, we aren’t going to do anything different in the second half. It’s on you guys to execute.’” Rutgers did just that, churning out 133 second-half rushing yards en route to 21 third-quarter points, seizing control of the game. Nova, meanwhile, tacked on 128 passing yards over the final 30 minutes, hooking up in the end zone twice with junior wide receiver Leonte Carroo. Carroo’s first score went for 34 yards after an out route catch along the sideline, showing the strength to hold on as cornerback Tim Bennett came over and tried to make the tackle. After Bennett slipped, Carroo darted to the end zone to extend Rutgers’ lead to 24-16. “We do a drill like that every day in practice. It’s called ‘fight the sideline,’” Carroo said. “Gary put it there so I could make a play, and [Bennett] tried to pretty much tackle me, and I just fought the sideline and turned up the field.” Indiana never clawed within eight points the rest of the way, as Rutgers withstood a season-high 307 yards from Coleman by limiting true freshman quarterback Zander Diamont to 15-of-31 passing, one touchdown and an interception. The sixth victory could not have come at a more perfect time. Rutgers finishes its regular season slate with No. 12 Michigan State and Maryland over the next two weeks. The Knights are unlikely to win either contest. But it doesn’t matter now, since regardless of those results, the Knights will soon be able to say their first Big Ten season ultimately ended with a bowl game. “You kind of get that monkey off your back a little bit. You hear about, ‘Ah, one more win and you’ll be bowl eligible. You think you can do it?’” said senior linebacker Kevin Snyder. “Yeah, I think we can do it.”

said the week is primarily an educational opportunity. “It’s an opportunity for universities like Rutgers to share [information] about our international base, a chance for domestic students to learn about things, as well as an opportunity to experience different cultures on their own,” he said. In order to help Rutgers students become more informed about other cultures, Rutgers-New Brunswick, Rutgers-Newark and Rutgers-Camden have scheduled events to promote cultural literacy while keeping IEW accessible to the entire state of New Jersey. With the intent of sparking interest among students in different cultures, these events ser ve to provide a small basis for multi-cultural education. Carissa Sestito, public relations specialist at the GAIA Centers, said IEW is meant to celebrate international par tnerships. “We’ve provided funding to student groups who are interested in displaying something with an international element, performance or any other activity to foster a type of cross-cultural environment,” she said. While the GAIA Centers staff members recognize that study-
ing abroad is not suited for ever ybody, they do believe that engaging with a new culture in a foreign setting is entirely beneficial, particularly in today’s global society. Stephanie Perez, program coordinator at the GAIA Centers, acknowledged how diverse the University student body is. She believes that interacting with
“[Rutgers] won the award because we’ve been able to heighten our international engagement and global affairs across all three universities.” CARISSA SESTITO PR Specialist at GAIA Center
various cultures within the college setting is not a substitute for physically immersing oneself in a foreign countr y. “[Students studying abroad] are getting whole new perspectives … different experiences with people from all around world,” Perez said. “You need that kind of perspective in order to solve a lot of things that are happening and to be a better global citizen when you get out of Rutgers.”
The timing of this year’s IEW is particularly fitting for Rutgers because the National Association of Foreign Student Advisers has just recognized Rutgers as one of four institutions to receive the 2014 Senator Paul Simon Award for Comprehensive Internationalization. According to the NAFSA website, the award recognized Rutgers for having some of the most diverse and far-reaching approaches for creating and implementing models for campus internationalization. “[Rutgers] won the award because we’ve been able to heighten our international engagement and global affairs across all three universities,” Sestito said. “It encompasses a lot of things, such as studying abroad, international education programs and others.” Considering IEW is both a U.S. State Department initiative and a Department of Education initiative, the University’s celebration of the week is not simply a promotion to convince students to study abroad. Latching on to the federal government’s initiatives by providing educational events, the GAIA Centers are not only using this week as a platform to inform students about the benefits of studying in a foreign land, but also of becoming more well-rounded before entering the workplace after graduation. “It is about educating the population ... students have to have an understanding of how things work outside of the U.S.,” Costalas said. “This is a chance for students to get a sense of what’s going on outside of their comfort zone.”

said team captain Alisha Fuino. “We are here to kick butt and also kick cancer’s butt,” said Fuino, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. Off the court, students could purchase pink T-shirts and write
messages on pink ribbons to hang on the walls. The organizers provided popcorn, cotton candy and board games to students who were waiting to compete. “This event combines the best of both worlds,” Lakomy said. “It’s a fun time for the students,
and they can give back at the same time.” Lakomy said the tournament is “bursting at the seams,” and student interest continued even after registration closed. In coming years, the event may be extended across the entire weekend due to the successful turnout. The tournament has also evolved in that Rutgers Residence Life now recruits student volunteers to work as referees, scorekeepers and timekeepers. Throughout the years, the event has grown with the help of social media, Lakomy said.
“The marketing of the event has helped the tournament evolve,” she said. “We star ted posting about it more on social media and making videos, which has generated more participation from students.” At 5:30 p.m., a volunteer from the Susan G. Komen Foundation was presented with the $3,145 check and gave a speech to players and onlookers. The final match was between Nicholas Hall and Quad Two, with Quad Two scoring the win.
The winning team was presented with a golden trophy ornamented with eagles on each corner and pink poles supporting a board with the names of the past winners. Quad Two joined the ranks of past winners from the Busch, Engineering, Science and Technology Hall, Barr Hall, Mattia Hall and the Cook Apartments. “We could never do this event without the students,” Lakomy said. “The students participate and volunteer to make the entire event happen.”

Academics discuss updates on alternative energy options WEINI ZHANG CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Storage logistics remain crucial for solar cars to compensate variations in sunlight, said Dunbar Birnie, a professor in the Department of Material Sciences and Engineering. Birnie, a faculty advisor for Rutgers Solar Racing Car Team, gave a presentation on grid resilience as part of the “Fifth Annual Alternate Energy Symposium,” hosted by the Rutgers Engineering Society and Rutgers Alumni Association on Nov. 5 in the Fiber Optics Building Auditorium on Busch campus. The RES, the alumni association of the School of Engineering since 1949, hosts the symposium on a yearly basis to share updates in the alternate energy industry. Various speakers addressed issues in solar energy, energy storage and energy waste at the symposium, said Richard Cestone, president-elect of the RES. Nearly 120 people signed up for the symposium, he said. Most of them are University alumni, students and New Jersey-licensed engineers. Rutgers is an authorized institution to provide professional credits to engineers, Cestone said. Industr y experts have discussed research into alternate energy sources for the past five
years, said Aaron Richton, president of the RES. “State law requires professional engineers to take continuing education credit in order to continue their license,” Richton said. The symposium is a public event that opens to students, alumni and professionals from all disciplines, he said. “It is a great oppor tunity for alumni to come back to campus

and see advances in technology since their graduation, “ he said. “It also welcomes alumni in other areas who might other wise [be] interested in alternate energy.” Michael Wallendjack, a bioenvironmental engineer from the class of 2006, attended the symposium out of an interest to learn more about the alternate energy industr y. Wallendjack worked as a water infrastructure engineer after graduating, he said. He is con-
sidering looking into alternate energy as well. “It is a pretty interesting topic,” he said. “The symposium sort of ser ves as my introductor y lectures to the field.” The symposium is also a great opportunity for current undergraduate and graduate students to connect with people in the profession, Richton said. The RES suppor ts the school and its students, he said. An event such as the symposium brings alumni back on campus to connect with students looking for help in their coursework or who are interested in the subject. “Alternate energy is a timely topic for Rutgers School of Engineering alumni, students and faculty to engage themselves into,” Richton said. “Ever y level of energy industr y in the nation is looking for innovations for current problems engineers go out and face.” Andrew Powers is the program manager of the PSE&G Solar 4 All Program, which is focused on developing a 125-megawatt solar capacity directly connected to the power grid. Powers discussed current challenges in distributing solar generated power for the grid, including variable sunlight in different weather or season and increased voltage.
“Adding batter y storage can mitigate variations in solar power, but storage is expensive,” Powers said. “Power smoothing and power shifting can be used to fill in low generation and peak generation to evening usage. These methods lack market incentive and are uneconomical, he said.
Due to the challenges engineers are facing and resolving, the future of solar energy is uncertain, Powers said. “We bring together people who are interested in alternate energy,” Cestone said. “Not only what is happening now in their careers, but also what could be done on the road.”

Physicians emphasize importance of influenza vaccinations NIKHILESH DE STAFF WRITER
Anywhere from 3,000 to about 50,000 people in the United States could die from the flu in a given year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website. The flu presents symptoms similar to a cold but is far more severe, said Nila Dharan, an assistant professor of Medicine in the New Jersey Medical School. A fever, sore throat and cough are the primary symptoms, but patients may also feel muscle aches and fatigue. Some people may even experience nausea, diarrhea and vomiting, she said. The flu is not nearly as mild as people believe, said David Cennimo, another assistant professor in the New Jersey Medical School. Patients may be hospitalized and sent to intensive care units due to the disease. “In one case I remember from my medical training, the patient developed a severe secondary
infection and died,” he said in an interview with Rutgers Today. Statistically, the flu is worse than many other diseases, especially Ebola, he said. Far more people will get the flu than Ebola. Sarah Maas, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student, said many people die from the flu every year. The very young, el-
get, Dharan said. This disease can cause outbreaks in patients’ homes or in medical facilities like nursing homes and hospitals. Different types of influenza viruses are consistently evolving, requiring a new vaccine to be made every year, she said. The World Health Organization collects data on which strains are
Flu vaccines contain “dead” viruses, Cennimo said. The viruses present in those vaccines cannot replicate and therefore cannot cause symptoms in a person. The vaccine may take up to two weeks to take ef fect, during which a separate infection might cause the disease, he

derly and people with weakened immune systems are at particular risk of death. “The flu is a much bigger threat to the average person than Ebola,” Maas said. “The only way to catch Ebola is to come in contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person.” The flu, like many other respiratory viruses, is far easier to

said. The incubation period for an active virus is much shorter — a few days. People should get vaccinated as early as possible to prevent this, he said. Nasal vaccines are different from the flu shot in that they have a live but mutated virus, he said. This type of vaccine does not cause the illness either but
is only recommended for those with strong immune systems. “Theoretically, giving [a] live virus to immunocompromised people presents a higher risk for them,” he said. While some people might be allergic to a vaccine, incidents of this are extremely rare, he said. Other ways to prevent the spread of the flu include maintaining good hygiene, she said. It is a good idea to avoid infected people and for those who are infected to stay home and recuperate. Being vaccinated against the flu has secondary benefits, Cennimo said. People who are more likely to get the flu are protected when everyone around them is vaccinated. Some people are at risk due to compromised immune systems, he said. Cancer patients and other people with medical conditions may have these compromised systems. “Nobody wants to get the flu,” Cennimo said. “Nobody wants to miss a week of work and feel miserable.”

Photo published of ‘die-in’ shows inappropriate bias COMMENTARY ABEERAH WASTI
L
ast week was Palestinian Awareness Week, a three-day long event organized by the Rutgers chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine meant to celebrate and educate people about Palestine and its people. On Tuesday, SJP held a “diein,” a demonstration in which people simulate being dead. For SJP’s die-in, the par ticipants who were lying down wore white T-shir ts with red stains on them, holding in their hands a white rose with the name, age and location of a child killed in Gaza this past summer during Israel’s Operation Protective Edge. At the same time, the names and ages of the children who had been killed in Gaza by Operation Defensive Edge were read aloud and a balloon released for each name. The event was planned out weeks in advance and was not meant to incite any type of altercation. The purpose of the die-in was to commemorate the hundreds of children killed this past summer, as well as call attention to the fact that they were among thousands of other civilians who were targeted and killed by the Israeli militar y. In response to the die-in, Rutgers AEPi, an international Jewish fraternity, sponsored an “Israel Soli-
darity Table,” and tabled on the steps along with Rutgers Hillel, the campus Jewish student organization that has a long-standing record of promoting Zionism to the point of excluding anti-Zionist Jewish students. The event started out peacefully, with SJP members spreading out on the steps of Brower Commons and Zionist organizers speaking with passers-by. Once one of the demonstrators from the Palestinian table started reading aloud the names and
Daily Targum caught none of this. Instead, the Targum published a single photo — with a caption that gave no context — of a Zionist organizer wearing a yarmulke and Israeli flags sitting next to an SJP protester who is giving the former the middle finger. The lack of context — namely, the fact that Zionist students had been provoking the SJP demonstrators — is extremely disappointing and shoddy journalism. Around 200 photos were taken at the die-in, many of them illustrating the callousness of the
“The event was planned out weeks in advance and was not meant to incite any type of altercation.

When the SJP demonstrators started chanting “Free, free Palestine,” their Zionist counterparts started chanting “From Hamas, from Hamas” in return. The Zionist organizers loudly accused the SJP demonstrators of being anti-Semitic, and began dancing when an SJP demonstrator started reciting the list of the names of the dead children again. These Zionist organizers also made fun of the people lying on the ground, placing pamphlets on their bodies and placing their feet near their faces. The
Zionist demonstrators during the recitation of the dead children’s names, but none of them were published in The Daily Targum. Why did the Targum only publish one photo from the event that was clearly biased toward one side of the story? There were 200 pictures to choose from, and many of them were much more impartial. Had the Targum wanted to publish that specific photo to express an opinion, why couldn’t they juxtapose it with a photo biased toward the other side? The photo was not published in the Opinions section, but rather served as the Targum’s coverage of
the demonstration. A university newspaper covering an event organized by a student organization should attempt to capture the entirety of the situation, not just one aspect. This biased photo also gives the impression that members of SJP, and by extension, all supporters of Palestine, are anti-Semitic. The fact that a photo of a very clearly Jewish student, wearing a yarmulke with the Israeli Star of David draped on his shoulders, being flipped off by a student who seems to be Muslim by his name is the only photo published on this event is disturbing. Contrary to what Rutgers Hillel and its supporters would like the campus to believe, anti-Israeli sentiments do not equate to anti-Semitism. Many Jews are opposed to Zionism and Israel’s policies, and there were in fact Jewish students partaking in the die-in. Not only is this paper’s failure to get all of these facts a failure in journalism, yet it is also pure-and-simple biased reporting. As a Rutgers student, I expect more from my campus newspaper, especially if it is being ran by my fellow classmates. The Targum needs to step up its reporting and hold itself to a higher quality of journalism. While Zionist students are free to spread their propaganda and make false accusations towards those against their cause, The Daily Targum should still be presenting the other side.

GREEN program fosters immersion in engineering COMMENTARY KEVIN FU
W
hen I received an email about the Global Renewable Energy Education Network Program from Dean Fred Bernath, I took a moment to consider the possibilities. Here I was, a junior majoring in mechanical engineering without the faintest idea of what I wanted to do going for ward. I knew I was interested in renewable energy but didn’t have much exposure to the subject. After doing a little research on the program, I found it to be a per fect match. Hiking excursions, exclusive access to power plants and the location where Viking legends were recorded? All that more or less hits the jackpot for my ideal study abroad. All in all, I hoped the many oppor tunities of fered by GREEN would help fuel my curiosity about renewable energy and point me on my way to find what I want to pursue. Suf fice to say, it did. And needless to say, I applied and got accepted. After months of preparation and some pre-departure anxiety, I finally made my way to Iceland. I was joined by 26 other students from all over the world who were

just as excited and ner vous about the trip as I was. Many of us had different ways of settling down. Some of us were ready to explore surrounding areas, while others would rather chat around camp. When the capstone project was introduced, we freely bounced ideas off of one another and grew in our mutual interest of sustainable energy. For the first few days, we attended class-

Both were very knowledgeable about Icelandic geography and were singlehandedly responsible for getting us through this journey safely. They were always ready to help anyone who was interested in learning

We were given an overview of how geothermal and hydropower systems work, some insight on the energy aspect of economics and a brief background on Iceland’s position above the Mid-Atlantic ridge. All of these lectures were topped off by visiting Geothermal and Hydropower facilities. During the tours, everything I learned in my classes back at Rutgers slowly clicked in my head.

a bit more about Icelandic culture by teaching us a few Icelandic phrases and fairy tales along the way. They also had a system of withholding the day’s itinerary until the very last second. Being a stickler for planning things ahead, this system irked me at first, although I came to understand why as the trip went on. When you are scaling an 800-meter mountain, you certainly want to put off getting back to camp for as long as possible. When your guide fully immerses your caving experience by sharing local legends and singing beautiful Icelan-
dic songs in the pitch dark, you honestly can’t do anything else but appreciate the now and not the then. This is the one time this group would share the experience of snorkeling between tectonic plates, going on 10-mile hikes, getting soaked by waterfalls, meeting the president of Iceland and Super-Jeeping across rivers in Iceland. We could always think about school, meals and cozy beds later, so why not just float with the goat now? Interacting with other people, whether my fellow students, professors, facility experts or my guides, was truly the best way to get the most from this program. Going on excursions boosted my confidence and leadership skills. This program is a chance for like-minded people to exchange thoughts on the renewable energy, the environment, how mar velous Iceland is and whatever else. Being a reser ved person, it took me a bit to open up. When I eventually did that, the memories I made with these people are the ones I will keep for times to come — that is what the GREEN Program is truly about. Getting out of your comfort zone is the best way to grow and learn something new. Kevin Fu is a School of Engineering junior majoring in mechanical engineering.

POINTS Rutgers bursts open scoring with back-to-back wins by fall, tech fall, major CONTINUED FROM BACK coming out of intermission with a string of bonus points. “What Ethan Orr did for this team — he was going to the East Stroudsburg Open to wrestle at 174 — and then we had an injury, so he came in and got to work. He’s a team player and that was huge for us.”
Page 17 While all the bonus points excited in the second half of competition, the first five bouts held their own enthusiasm. Rutgers shot out to a 12-3 lead prior to going back to the locker room, but it wasn’t an easy four decisions. Junior Ken Theobold dropped his decision at 149 pounds, while the matches at 133, 141 and 157 pounds were all decided in the final period after each grappler trailed. Redshirt freshman 141-pounder Anthony Ashnault 16/19/20/14 (Intermat/TheOpenMat/WIN/AWP) was not himself today, by his own admission. But he would rebound in a big way.
LOSS Colonials repeatedly silence RAC crowd, halt Knights’ momentum in second half CONTINUED FROM BACK scoreless possessions. Even when Rutgers appeared to be growing in momentum, a missed shot usually turned into a Colonials bucket going the other way, immediately silencing the 5,824 in attendance. The loudest the crowd managed to get was when freshman forward D.J. Foreman delivered an emphatic dunk to cut the game to 53-38 with 8:05 remaining. But even that could not spark a comeback as the Knights managed just 13 more points. Although Rutgers’ performance left much to be desired, George Washington looked every bit the NCAA Tournament caliber-team it was a year ago. Veteran guards Joe McDonald and Kethan Savage led the way for the Colonials 15 and 18 points, respectively. “His experience [made a difference],” Jordan said of McDonald’s play. “He’s been to the tournament, he’s playing against a team that’s rebuilding, so he’s got a lot of confidence. He’s a leader, he’s tough and they made shots when it counted.” While the Colonials’ dominant play had plenty to do with the score line, the loss of Jack allowed them to double down on senior guard Myles Mack, forcing others to contribute offensively. Mack still managed a team-high 14 points and was 2-5 from beyond the arc, but the Knights struggled to string together consistent possessions. “When I would get the ball up or when I was coming up without the
ball, they would deny me and they did a good job at that,” Mack said. “And I got a couple baskets, though, going backdoor, so I kind of read them sometimes, but I think they did a good job with denying me and getting the ball out of my hands.” It took Rutgers close to five and a half minutes to score its first basket, which came from a Mack threepoint shot. The bucket seemed to relax the jittery Knights, managing to pull the game to 9-11 with 10 minutes left in the first half, but that was the closest they came. Only Mack, who had a team-high 8 points in the first half, could find a consistent shot as the Colonials’ began to pull away Rutgers finished the half shooting under 21 percent from the field with 10 turnovers, compared to the Colonials’ 33.3-percent shooting and six turnovers. The Knights did manage to shoot a much-improved 52 percent in the second half, though, with Foreman and freshman guard Mike Williams starting to find their rhythm, scoring 9 and 10 points total, respectively. Despite the improved second half, the loss served as a wakeup call for an inexperienced roster that never was in the contest. “It was pretty difficult to begin, I was pretty nervous,” Foreman said. “In the second half I tried to play as hard as I could, and I guess [the loss] just showed us where we’re at right now.”
Ashnault was tasked with wrestling No. 18/16/16/24 Jamel Hudson, and the match more closely resembled a faux wrestling league. A head-butt bloodied Ashnault, then dust from the clear stitches got in his eye. A comeback ensued for the South Plainfield, New Jersey, native after he was taken down three times in
the first two periods. Ashnault recorded two takedowns in the third period, and a near-fall as time expired to earn the comeback 10-7 decision against Hudson, which allowed the entire College Avenue Gym to rise to its feet. “I was really tentative in the first period — I didn’t take any attacks.
I didn’t feel like myself,” Ashnault said. “The third period came around and it was like I had to score. I needed three points and it was time to go, and I just kept going. I was a little nervous, but once I got my movement going and got to my one shot, I knew I was better than this kid and could take him down.”

November 17, 2014 FOOTBALL HICKS CARRIES BALL 20 TIMES FOR 114 YARDS IN FIRST SIGNIFICANT ACTION
Freshman running backs carry load on Knights’ Senior Day TYLER KARALEWICH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
On a day where 19 seniors in the Rutgers football team’s program were honored, it was a pair of true freshman running backs who sent the upperclassmen off with their last win at High Point Solutions Stadium. Prior to the 45-23 victory against Indiana, head coach Kyle Flood announced he would play all four running backs on the roster, but true freshmen Robert Martin and Josh Hicks earned most of the carries. And when given the opportunity, the rookie running backs made the most of it. Martin touched the ball 11 times, averaging 7.5 yards a carr y and found the end zone three times. Hicks earned his first significant workload and may have found a spot as the team’s feature back, with 20 carries. The Palmetto, Florida, native ran for 114 yards, including his first career touchdown. For head coach Kyle Flood, the freshman duo’s production makes up for what the Scarlet Knights have been missing in their offense. “Some of the things that we’ve been lacking in the run game, they were able to help us produce today. It’s not just them,” Flood said. “But it is a little bit of them breaking some tackles, making
some people miss. And to make some big plays in the run game was important for us to operate on the offensive. And they were able to do that today.” While neither of their roles were guaranteed before the season, Martin and Hicks are not only in the mix for the running back tandem, but they are making a strong case for becoming the key guys in the backfield after sophomores Justin Goodwin and Desmon Peoples were ineffective
“It wasn’t all about me, it was a team effort. My whole line did a fantastic job. This was like a dream come true.” JOSH HICKS Freshman Running Back
against the Hoosiers. Goodwin and Peoples were unable to get anything going and saw their carries diminished after each fumbled in the first quarter. Both backs were quick to credit the offensive line in front of them, along with senior fullback Michael Burton. “It wasn’t all about me, it was a team effort. My whole line did a fantastic job,” Hicks said. “This was like a dream come true. And none of this would be able to hap-
pen if it wasn’t for my teammates and God. Scoring a touchdown is the best feeling ever, but it wasn’t all about me. It was about my offensive line and everyone else that made blocks.” *** While the Knights’ offense rebounded following a tough stretch of games, the special teams unit recovered due to the play of sophomore receiver Janarion Grant. Grant and the kickoff return unit returned four kickoffs for 166 yards, over 41 yards per return. Grant was also effective with a career-high 23-yard punt return. The Trillby, Florida, native now has 1,158 return yards for his career — eighth in school histor y — and had a 71-yard kick return. The career-high return came after Indiana running back Tevin Coleman broke a 67-yard touchdown run leaving less than 20 seconds left in the first half. Grant broke through and set the Knights up for a 46-yard field goal. Although the field goal was no good, Grant said it was an exhilarating sequence. “It was just a rush. You see how much time you have before halftime on the scoreboard — so you know you are getting the ball,” Grant said. “You just have to figure out how you want to get the offense into good field position. I just shed off one tackle and tried to make things happen

for myself, and it worked out pretty well.” After a career day on the field, Grant only wanted to do one thing after entering the locker room. “It was a great feeling and the weather was good, even though it was cold,” Grant said of doing well against the Hoosiers. “There was
a little bit of dancing in the locker room after, but I just wanted to get in the shower quickly because I was so cold.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @TylerKaralewich and @TargumSports on Twitter.

Knights slam St. Joseph’s in season opener
Jack’s absence hinders RU’s offense in loss
CONOR NORDLAND STAFF WRITER
SEAN STEWART
In its inaugural game of the 2014 season, and the first since winning the WNIT Championship, the Rutgers women’s basketball team cruised to a 76-52 victory Friday night at the Louis Brown Athletic Center against St. Joseph’s. The Scarlet Knights (1-0) had four players in double figures and extended their win streak to 13 games dating back to last year. From the outset of the game, the Knights’ defense set the tone and controlled the flow of the game. It forced a turnover on the Hawks’ first possession, which was a common theme throughout. Rutgers forced 21 turnovers in total and held the Hawks to 31 percent shooting from the field. “We considered playing zone because they shoot extremely well and are a precision passing team, but the way this team was moving,

As Mike O’Neill scanned his surroundings from the grass of Yurcak Field last Friday night, he took a couple of seconds to let it all marinate. Fans and family stood along the foot of the bleachers watching members of the No. 25 Rutgers women’s soccer team stretch out and cool down as they always do after each game, but this time was different. After a 2-0 shutout of No. 10-seed La Salle (14-6-2) in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, all felt right for the first-year head coach. “The NCAA Round of 64 is always special. To do it at home makes it extra spe-

cial,” O’Neill said. “But I think the environment on a cold night with over 1,000 people was nice. The community got behind [the team]. … It puts your program on display, and that’s what you’re looking for. You want people to come in and watch the girls and recognize the quality of our women’s soccer program.” The Scarlet Knights (13-5-1) tumbled their way to the finish line of the regular season and continued the trend into the Big Ten Conference Tournament with an early exit to Iowa, dropping four of their last five matches. But when it received an at-large NCAA Tournament bid, No. 7-seed Rutgers enjoyed SEE VICTORY ON PAGE 18
It may have been a new-look Rutgers men’s basketball team, but it took just 16 minutes into its inaugural Big Ten campaign for the familiar groans and frustrations to materialize from the crowd. In a game without star senior forward Kadeem Jack, along with sloppy turnovers and poor shooting, the Scarlet Knights (0-1) never led, falling, 70-53, to a balanced George Washington (2-0) team Sunday night at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. “[George Washington] played very well. They defended us very well,” head coach Eddie Jordan said postgame. “They got into Myles [Mack] early, and when they get into Myles and we don’t have Kadeem we will struggle. … And we just couldn’t get a hold of our offense and converting, so that was pretty much how the game went to be.” Trailing, 33-21, at halftime, the Knights opened up the second half with three straight SEE LOSS ON PAGE 17

RU explodes in commanding win with bonus points TYLER KARALEWICH
Coming out of intermission, the Knights exploded for a flurry of bonus points led by junior 165-pounder Ethan Orr, who got things going with a win by fall at the outset of the second period. The Pride’s Nick Terdick took down Orr in the first period. Orr chose down in the second and immediately earned an escape. When Terdick went back to his move he used earlier in the bout, Orr was ready and credited his hips to the pin.

The way things star ted for the Rutgers wrestling team this season, one would expect things to be closer than they actually were against Hostra. Four of the first five bouts going into the intermission were decided in the final period or in the final seconds.But that’s all that it was for the Scarlet Knights: close in the first five bouts.
“He hit me with a throw-by in the first period and took me down. So, then we went into the second period — and I was feeling good — so I got out right away,” Orr said. “He got in on another shot and I just felt like I had better hips than him, so I rolled and I ended up on top.” Orr’s fall started a four-match slate coming out of intermission that resulted in bonus points for Rutgers, giving the Knights back-to-back falls, followed by a tech fall by Anthony Pafumi at 184

Goodale was quick to credit the resilience of Orr, who lost his spot at the beginning of the season and grappled due to an injury in the lineup. “You don’t expect that,” Goodale said on SEE POINTS ON PAGE 17
