More than a decade’s wor th of New Jersey histor y convened in the Douglass Campus Center on Saturday morning for a conference co-hosted by the Eagleton Institute of
Politics and the New Jersey Historical Commission. The conference, which focused on the evolving role of the governor and the media in the state, featured a panel discussion with three former governors of New Jersey and Steve Kornacki, the host of “Up” on MSNBC, who acted as moderator.
The event commemorated “New Jersey 350,” the state’s 350th anniversar y celebration in 2014, said Sara Cureton, director of the New Jersey Historical Commission. “What we’re really marking is the point when New Jersey became New Jersey,” she said.

Football player alleges bullying from assistant Immediately after the Rutgers football team’s second 35-point home loss in three weeks Saturday, concerns arose about the Scarlet Knights’ focus in the wake of another athletics scandal. Former cornerback Jevon Tyree, who quit the team Nov. 6, alleged Friday that defensive coordinator Dave Cohen bullied and verbally abused him during a spring study hall session, according to an NJ.com report. Tyree claims he was singled out and eventually not given equal opportunity for playing time during training camp as a result of Cohen’s grudge. The family met with head coach Kyle Flood on Sept. 16 to ensure Cohen’s reprimanding and Tyree’s genuine role on the team. Tyree decided to stay. But after Rutgers’ secondary was hit with injuries and the Knights passed on Tyree in favor of converted redshirt wide receiver Ruhann Peele to cornerback for reps Nov. 2 against Temple, Tyree quit. Junior linebacker Kevin Snyder insisted after Saturday’s game that Cohen’s particularly vocal style of coaching was not exclusive to Tyree.
Cureton said the roots of the state date back to 1664, when the Duke of York issued a land grant to John Berkeley and George Carteret that became the state of New Jersey. “New Jersey 350” is honoring the anniversary by spreading the themes of innovation, diversity and liberty, she said, as well as reflecting

Rutgers drum line opens at Victoria’s Secret show Danielle Gonzalez Staff Writer
The annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion show is a preview for the company’s latest collection of lingerie and women’s apparel, featuring some of the world’s leading supermodels and entertainment acts. This year’s show was no different, aside from the addition of one more musical act — the Rutgers University drum line.
The drum line opened for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last Wednesday at the Lexington Armor y in Manhattan. The opening act of this year’s show, titled “British Invasion,” featured 10 members of the drum line in makeup and dressed in the tall black hats and red coats of the Queen’s Guard. Paul Nalesnick, lead instructor of the drum line, said he could See drum

The second-most prestigious ballet company in China came to the New Jersey State Theatre yesterday to display a masterpiece of Chinese ballet. The Shanghai Ballet performed “The Butterfly Lovers,” a four-act, full-length ballet that tells the story of two lovers in fourth-century China who are forbidden to elope and die trying. It is often called the Chinese analog to William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” according to Christine Chen, the executive director of the American Repertory Ballet. “The Butterfly Lovers,” which premiered in 2001, combines traditional Chinese and Russian dance movements, Chen said, creating a fusion between Western- and Eastern-style choreography. “[The ballet is] a traditional Chinese myth [meeting] the story arc of a Western classic like ‘Romeo and Juliet,’” Chen said. Xin Lili, the artistic director of the Shanghai Ballet and choreographer of “The Butterfly Lovers,” identified this as one of four legendary tales in Chinese culture. The story takes place during the Jin Dynasty in China during the fourth century, and is comprised of four seasonal acts. In the first, set in spring, the audience is introduced to Zhu Yingtai, a woman disguising herself as a man so she can attend school. She and a
scholarly boy named Liang Shanbo develop a strong attachment. The second act begins in the summer. Zhu and Liang are walking home, and Zhu, desperate to out herself as a woman, attempts to express her femininity to Liang. She dances suggestively and wears a red veil, which is traditional Chinese bridal wear. Still, Liang does not realize that Zhu is female. Just as the curtain descends to signal intermission, he has his epiphany and runs after Zhu. Yet when autumn descends and the third act begins, Zhu is betrothed to a man named Ma Wencai, who bullied students at Zhu and Liang’s school. Zhu flees from Ma every time he attempts to approach her, and the act’s choreography largely consists of frantic, panicked movements. Liang then returns to ask Zhu’s father for his permission to marry Zhu. But Liang’s family is not of the requisite social standing, and he is rebuffed. The act concludes as Ma’s servants beat Liang to death. “The physicality of the dancers is really important to conveying the characters,” Chen said. “The physicality of the dancers tells the personalities and the stories.” In the fourth and final act, set in the winter, Zhu has fled her marriage ceremony and throws her veil aside as she embraces Liang’s grave.

“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. RECOGNITION For years, the Targum has been among the most prestigious newspapers in the country. Last year, these awards included placing first in the Associated Collegiate Press National College Newspaper Convention Best of Show award category for four-year daily newspapers.

commission Florio says media has become more superficial because reporters no longer specialize continued from front
the role of the media during these administrations. Florio, who held office from 1990 to 1994, said his administration focused heavily on cleaning up the environment and bringing about more funding for education. The media during his time in office differed from the media today, he said. More reporters specialized in specific areas, whereas reporters today often write stories on topics they know little about, he said. “It has become much more superficial,” Florio said. “The economics of the media don’t dictate that they have a lot of revest, so a lot of newspapers are starting to fail. Newspapers don’t have the same coverage.” Whitman, who held office from 1994 to 2001, agreed that the quality of the media has degraded since she was a main issue of contention in the press. The stories have less depth and are tailored more for a “Twitter type” of audience, she said. Less research goes into the news, and the purpose of the media has shifted into providing an overgeneralized and oversimplified view of current-day issues. “A free press is critical to our society, but there are times when you’re really bumping heads with them and trying to get through to the people without the filter of
whatever bias the media might bring to them,” she said. Over a span of seven years, Whitman’s administration revolved around tax cuts, tax reform, pension bonds and the million-dollar bond for open space preservation, which preserved a million acres of open space, farmland and parks, she said. Whitman in particular held a unique position in her time as gov-

ernor because she was the first, and still the only, female governor in New Jersey history. “Initially, it was [the media] getting over the fact that I was a woman. I actually [knew] something about economics, economic policy and tax policies. … At the beginning, they said that my husband must be behind all of that. They got over it,” she said. To this day, Whitman said she could not attribute the remarks she received during her
administration to her being governor or to her being a woman. “There were things covered and questions raised that I think [the media] would not have raised with a man,” she said. “There were mutterings about the ‘Estrogen Palace’ because of the women that I appointed.” Kornacki, a senior political writer for Salon.com, also described his view of how the media has changed over the past couple of decades. More and more journalists today lack institutional memory, he said, or the context that allows an individual to place a specific event into a larger panorama. Institutional memory gives reporters instant reflexive context on any development, he said. Kornacki said although many journalists lack institutional memory, they make up for it with the eagerness, drive and enthusiasm to dig for information. Still, the presence of institutional as well as historical memory allows for a more comprehensive perspective on a single given issue, he said. “The best stories in politics aren’t the headlines. They aren’t the leads of the stories — they’re the backstories. It’s what happened to get to the story itself,” he said. Kornacki said New Jersey politics are intriguing, particularly in the current political climate. “I love international politics, but I continue to find New Jersey politics endlessly fascinating,” he said. “The challenge right now is trying to communicate that to a national audience that doesn’t automatically think it’s the most interesting thing in the world.”
ballet Chen says cycle of seasons symbolizes development of the young lovers’ affection continued from front
After an elaborate dance, Zhu, flanked by several female dancers, commits suicide just as Juliet does when she believes her union with Romeo is impossible. “When Zhu takes her own life, she does these … bourrées,” Chen said. “Juliet does that a lot in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ when she’s in her poison scene. It kind of conveys this panicked sensibility, but also something out of control.” Unlike Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, and despite the deaths of the two lovers, “The Butterfly Lovers” ends happily. In the ballet’s final scene, Liang and Zhu are reincarnated as butterflies in the springtime, and are permitted to be together in this form. Chen said the cycle of the seasons symbolizes the development of the young lovers’ affection. It buds in the springtime, is in full bloom during the summer, begins to break down in the fall, dies during the winter and is reborn when spring returns. Lili said she did not attempt to infuse the ballet with Chinese choreography, but the physical nature of the performers necessitated a non-Western style. “Although we don’t deliberately set out to bring a Chinese influence to our ballet …
Chinese bodies are different,” she said in an inter view at the McCallum Theatre Institute in October. “I think Chinese dancers bring a new delicacy, different qualities and sensibilities to this Western art.” Chen said much of the Western influence in Chinese ballet is the result of Russian dancers’ emigration to China following the creation of the Soviet Union. Artistic expression was stifled during Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution, but Lili said China’s present situation is markedly different. “Now it is very different,” she said. “Now the arts are for everyone — not just workers, farmers and soldiers.” Because the world is familiar with the art form of ballet, Chen said, it is a convenient avenue to present Chinese culture and history to a large audience. Though not an avid supporter of ballet, Chris Price, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, was impressed with the show’s representation of Chinese culture. “The ballet was entertaining,” Price said. “As a person who loves theater, I appreciated how colorful the show was. From the backdrops to the costumes and then to the big movements of the show, ever ything just seemed really vibrant.”

Professor finds building mold releases potential toxins By Shivam Patel Contributing Writer
When Joan Bennett was allowed back into her flooded New Orleans home after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, she came armed with petri dishes and protective gear. In 2006, she relocated to New Jersey and began working at Rutgers Department of Plant Biology and Pathology. Before coming to Rutgers, Bennett worked as a professor at Tulane University. She collaborated with its Depar tment of Agriculture and focused on fungal toxins that af fect foods. She said she heard of “sick building syndrome,” an idea that a building’s air could be toxic, causing sickness. As Bennett collected mold samples in her home, she began
feeling sick, although she wore protective gear. She said she did not think she breathed in spores, which sparked the idea that gases released by molds may cause people to become sick. “I would never have studied fungal volatiles if it weren’t for the hurricane, and it has revitalized my research and has been leading to some interesting results,” she said. Fungi release many dif ferent substances or volatiles that quickly turn into gases. Studies with fruit flies growing alongside fungi showed that the volatiles slowed down development and made the flies unhealthy. Using gas chromatography, Bennett and her lab figured out exactly which volatiles were being released by the fungi. Once these volatiles were
isolated, Bennett said she tested each volatile with fruit flies. During one test, Arati Inamdar, a research associate in the Depar tment of Plant Biology and Pathology, discovered that one volatile in par ticular caused the flies to develop Parkinson-like symptoms such as tremors and dizzied walking. The volatile in question is called 1-octen-3-ol, also known as “mushroom alcohol.” This led to Bennett focus on this one substance. “Right now, a lot of the population worries about industrial substances such as carcinogens — sometimes people forget that ever ything in the natural world is not good for you,” Bennett said. “There may be things put out as odors that might be poisonous.”
Small amounts of exposure will not hur t anyone, she said, but a flood due to climate change could expose many people all over the world to unhealthy levels. After Hurricane Sandy, Bennett received permission from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to collect mold from flooded homes along the coast, she said. At the site, she found that mold was less prevalent in New Jersey due to colder weather compared to homes affected by Hurricane Katrina. “It’s not just hurricanes. Hurricanes are acute events where a lot of people have leaks,” she said. “Sometimes you can have leaks under normal circumstances, and if there is a leak, a mold will probably grow.”
A mold is a great cellulose degrader, Bennett said. This means that items in most homes such as paper and fabrics can be susceptible to mold growth. Molds can also be hidden behind wallpaper or tiles in bathrooms, under sinks or around leaky pipes elsewhere in the house. Due to the fact that many molds have a ver y low odor threshold, Bennett said she hypothesizes that maybe people have evolved to detect these odors to warn them not to breathe in these volatiles. Despite of the dangers they pose, volatiles may also have beneficial ef fects, Bennett said. Another project she is working on has shown that some types of fungi help plants grow better.
U. researchers study aerosol effects in Southeast US By Melanie Groves Contributing Writer
Annmarie Carlton, an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences, traveled to a site near the Talladega National Forest in Alabama this past August to take part in the Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study. According to their website, SOAS is a six-week field campaign that took place in summer 2013 that focused on the interactions between the Earth’s ecosystem and the atmosphere. “Over the last 100 years, the climate in the Southeast U.S. has had a different trend than everywhere else in the country,” Carlton said. “The average temperature of this area has actually gotten cooler.” An aerosol is a collection of solid or liquid particles mixed with gas. Currently, satellites in orbit as part of NASA’s Earth Science Program detect aerosol optical depth, which is a measure of the transparency of the earth’s atmosphere to radiation from the sun, Carlton said.
“Basically, the sun is constantly shooting radiation at the earth. Some of it is absorbed and some of it is bounced back,” Carlton said. “What these satellites have measured is that aerosol optical depth is really high, particularly in the summer.” The increased aerosol optical depth means the atmosphere is less transparent to the sun, and reflects more radiation, according to NASA’s Earth Observatory website. Most of the organic compounds found in the atmosphere come from emissions from plants, rather than fossil fuels, Carlton said. “All organic compounds in the atmosphere oxidize to carbon dioxide,” Carlton said. “These highly oxidized particles are also highly polar.” Carlton hypothesized the high amount of liquid water in the atmosphere in the Southeast United States binds to these polar particles, increasing the aerosol thickness over the region. “Organic activity interacts with human activity to form these aerosols that create a sort
of haze over the Southeast U.S.,” Carlton said. More than 30 groups of three to 10 people participated in Carlton’s six-week study. Thien Khoi Nguyen, a Ph.D. candidate in environmental science, accompanied Carlton, along with Neha Sareen, a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University.
“Over the last 100 years, the climate in the southeast U.S. ... has actually gotten cooler.” Ann Marie carlton Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences
“On any given day there were around 100 people on site,” Carlton said. The on-site equipment included one aircraft, two towers used to house equipment and 12 trailers the Organization Fund Advisory Board awarded to the project.
“Think of the OFAB process as a library where university scientists can ‘check out’ instruments and facilities,” Carlton said. During the trip, a few unexpected problems arose, ranging from using tape to block a leaky window to needing to adjust equipment that was not working properly in the field, Nguyen said. Sareen said she had only conducted her experiments in the lab before the excursion. “The difference in air pressure from the lab to the field wasn’t something we took into account, so we needed different tubing for our instruments,” Sareen said. This was Carlton’s first experience organizing and running a field campaign. She worked with a team of experienced people she called a “steering committee” who she could turn to for advice. “I had never even been on a field study before, and so it was unique that I was running one,” Carlton said. “I knew I wasn’t thinking of everything, and so I tried to partner with people who were more experienced.”
Although each group was conducting individual research, camaraderie emerged among the participants, Nguyen said. Sometimes the Rutgers team would be missing parts or equipment, and people from other groups shared theirs. Nguyen spent her time at SOAS gathering data about the composition of water in the atmosphere. “The next step is to compare the water data with the chemical compositions from aerosols, and the chemical compositions were measured by other groups at SOAS,” Nguyen said. “There’s a lot of collaboration in reaching this answer.” Carlton said their results matched her original hypothesis. The members of this study feel this will lead to a better understanding of climate change. “Understanding the fundamental ways that chemicals interact in the earth’s environment is critical to designing strategies that are effective in improving air quality and mitigating the effects of climate change,” Carlton said.

Engineers work on housing project By Ingrid J. Paredes Staff Writer
The Center for American Progress declared in 2010 that New York City’s South Bronx is the poorest district in the nation. For decades, underdevelopment of the area has left homes neglected and deteriorating. The district’s population has struggled with health and safety issues associated with their environment, said Clinton Andrews, professor in the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. With his partners at the Rutgers Center for Green Building, Andrews has spent the last three years analyzing these health and safety issues. “[The center’s researchers] want to improve the comfort people feel in their homes,” he said. “To do that, we had to discover what is discomforting them in the first place.” The research team began their work at Intervale Green, a multi-family housing complex that the non-profit Women’s Housing and Economic Development Corporation built in 2009. Andrews said the organization built the green complex to reduce the environment’s negative impact on its occupants. But a team survey revealed Intervale Green’s residents had complaints about issues such as pests and air quality, even though the building had only been used for a year, Andrews said. With a new grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, Andrews said the center’s researchers have now partnered with Rutgers School of Engineering’s Depart-
ment of Civil and Environmental Engineering to quantify the residents’ survey responses. Early tests showed high levels of small particles caused air pollution in many apartments, Andrews said. The team plans to work with the department to determine the exact source of these pollutants, along with other problems like termite infestation. “It was important that our method was cost-effective,” he said. “If it works for [Intervale Green], it could work for other multi-family homes in cities like New Brunswick.” Jie Gong, an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, said the team integrated two technologies — spatial and thermal imaging — to analyze the exteriors and interiors of buildings. Gong said he originally used this integrated method to study the effects of Hurricane Sandy on homes across New Jersey, but tests on buildings on Busch campus proved the process is also useful for identifying infrastructure issues. He said the scanners allow the researchers to create and study a clear picture of how the building operates. If the scanner shows an area with a higher temperature than its surroundings, the team visits the area to determine the cause of the temperature difference. “We have found a way to put all the information we need in one place,” Gong said. “We can identify an issue — whether the building has rodents, termites, moisture or some other problem — and that issue’s location in an easier, less intrusive way than people have previously.”
Once Gong completes the calibration of the equipment on Busch campus, he said the team will visit individual Intervale Green apartments to compare the results of the center’s survey to the technology’s findings and conventional professional evaluations. From there, MaryAnn Sorensen Allacci, research project coordinator at the Center for Green Building, said the team plans to start thinking about solutions to the occupants’ issues. Allacci said once the project has been completed in the South Bronx, the method could spread to local areas. “We’re tackling the hardest [areas] first,” she said. Much of the project’s success and availability, Allacci said, depends on the people involved. The project under the Department of Housing and Urban Development grant has been a collaborative effort not just among Rutgers schools, but communities and building operators. “On top of the data calling for change in a building, we need to work with the people who can make those changes,” she said. “The project depends on [developing] strong relationships like the ones we’ve established with Inter vale Green’s operators and residents.” She said after the team completes their analysis at Intervale Green, they will also test the technology at a 1997 Women’s Housing and Economic Development Corporation building. Since the structure is much older than Inter vale Green, Allacci said their analysis will be the real test of the technology’s abilities.

Circulation cuts not detrimental

Skelly reflects U. non-inclusiveness COMMUNITY MATTERS SAM BERMAN
FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK ENRICO C. CABREDO
For the past few years, The Daily Targum has had a circulation of 18,000 papers Monday through Thursday and 15,500 on Friday. Today, I’m proud to announce that we have reduced our circulation, to 17,000 and 15,000, respectively. It might seem strange to be proud of having fewer papers out and about — college campuses are some of the few places where print media is still flourishing. Research done in 2011 by marketing company re:fuel has found 60 percent of students read their college’s newspaper, and 60 percent of those readers prefer print. Still, it’s becoming more difficult to put out a paper everyday, and a recent article in the New York Times assured that we are not the only college paper that understands they need to change. Thus, our reduction in circulation is one of the first steps in the Targum’s long overdue push to get with the times. We at the Targum reflect, research and work hard everyday, looking for better ways to serve our audience. For now, you can download our new mobile app for iOS and Android and visit our website and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get your latest Rutgers-related news. We are excited for our future, and we hope you are as well. Enrico C. Cabredo is a senior in the School of Arts and Sciences and the Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Targum.
O
ne of the most important lessons my parents ever taught me was that trust is one of those things that is easy to break and hard to rebuild, and, once lost, it can take years to regain. That’s a lesson I wish our government would learn. Lie after lie has shattered Americans’ trust in what is arguably the most important institution in their lives, the framework under which most other institutions — businesses, sports, even family units — are forced to operate. Our government, which was supposed to exist as a social contract between all of us, has instead become a machine that sometimes seems to serve a select few at the expense of a great many Americans — with the consequence that a great many Americans have lost faith in the government, which has ceased to serve its purpose. I bring this up as a lesson in trust and democratic legitimacy, because I believe that lesson is applicable to major public universities today, including ours. The University, of course, has the advantage of never having claimed to be a social contract in the first place. That said, it’s an organization like any other, and organizations require cooperation to operate effectively. Cooperation stands on trust and trust is a reciprocal relationship. With that in mind, as a friend of mine always says, this University runs best when all stakeholders are treated as such. Unfortunately, I believe the current administration sometimes tries to get away with violations of this principle. Leaving aside the athletic controversies of last year, this fall has already seen a couple of disturbances made worse by a lack of transparency on the part of the admin-
istration. Foremost among them has been the Division of Administration and Public Safety’s apparent decision to go ahead with plans to expand Lot 97 on Cook campus. An expansion of Lot 97 would build on top of Skelly Field, and when rumors first surfaced in the beginning of the semester that such a plan was in the works, administration officials denied it. As recently as a few weeks ago, the interim chancellor of the New Brunswick campus shrugged off the possibility with a claim that he wasn’t aware of any such plans. Last week, that all changed. Plans are in the works to expand the parking lot and have clearly been in the works for some time. They’ve already gotten the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to
“I can’t stress enough how essential reciprocal trust is to an organization’s health, and that includes ours.” declare that Skelly Field is not considered protected wetlands, which it had been until recently. This policy change on the part of the NJDEP, requested by Rutgers administration officials, allows construction on the site to proceed. The Daily Targum reported on last Friday that the University plans to proceed with these plans, despite resistance from faculty and students at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, including the SEBS Governing Council and the SEBS Dean. There are two stories here. The first is, of course, the expansion of Lot 97 into Skelly Field. Reasonable people can disagree on that. The more important story in my mind and the one on which reasonable people ought to agree is that the administration
continued to deny that these plans were in the works until it became impossible to continue doing so. That is unbelievable. Either communication within the administration is so poor that such concrete plans could develop that far without the student government being able to get an accurate answer about them, or else administration officials intentionally equivocated on the topic to keep students from effectively expressing their opposition to these plans. Either way, it makes it awfully difficult to develop a strong, reciprocal, trusting relationship with administration officials if we can never be sure if they’re telling us the truth. I can’t stress enough how essential reciprocal trust is to an organization’s health, and that includes ours. Even though Rutgers does not claim to be a democratic institution, leadership of the University ought to be driven by an inclusive process, where all stakeholders — of which students and faculty are the two largest, most central groups — are treated as valuable, intelligent, equal participants in this educational enterprise. The president’s willingness to incorporate shared governance into his strategic plan is a step in the right direction, but the administration’s prevarication on the issue of the Skelly Field parking lot shows that there is a lot of work still to be done. This university will be a lot stronger if we can all cooperate to meet the challenges coming our way. If we have to fight amongst ourselves so that the power structure doesn’t marginalize or ignore certain constituencies, meeting those challenges will be a lot more difficult. But students have fought that battle before — and if it gets bad enough, we will fight it again.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Cook campus is fine just the way it is Recently, I’ve been hearing rumors that a parking lot is going to be built on Skelly Field. This is a horrific abomination, and Cook campus students will not take this lightly — most of whom are avid environmentalists and love our campus the way it is. Elissa Everton is a School of Environmental And Biological Sciences junior majoring in biotechnology and minoring in biochemistry.
Devastation would be caused among students if construction continues I’ve been hearing about the parking lots the are going to be made on Skelly Field. Apparently, some people think that the students don’t care, but that’s not true. Almost everyone I know would be devastated to see that field paved. There is already so much construction going around. It’s inconvenient how there are more buildings being built and not enough parking spots for the entire faculty, but it would really be a shame to see that field turned into a parking lot. There are so few areas on campus
that remained untouched, and especially as a university with such a big science school, preserving these areas should be a little more important. Nicole Guzman is a School of Environmental And Biological Sciences sophomore majoring in environmental sciences.
Skelly field is more important to student life than another parking lot The open space, which is characteristic of Cook campus, is what appeals to the residents of Cook. Skelly Field is where students play soccer, sit on blankets, play the guitar, take walks, play football, practice sword fighting, walk seeing-eye dogs in training and relax. I have seen all these activities and many others occur while looking out my window at Skelly Field from Perry Hall. Antonio Calcado was quoted in a Targum article referring to “displaced people” who need a place to park. What about all the people who use Skelly Field for recreational purposes now? If a parking lot is built, they will be displaced. The School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Governing Council — which I am a member of — unanimously voted in
opposition of the lot being built. Despite that, plans to build a parking lot next to the Food Science Building have moved forward. I believe the views of the students on Cook campus should be further taken into consideration before a parking lot is built. The article cites Calcado’s view that a new lot is needed because 131 spaces were lost, and the demand for parking will increase when the new Food Science Building opens. According to the article, the Department of Transportation has “conducted several studies and deemed more parking spots are necessary.” I would like to know how the studies were conducted and the exact conclusions. The Governing Council has discussed the presence of parking around campus. For instance, the Douglass parking deck has numerous spots available. The Department of Transportation states on their website that “there are over 2,000 empty spaces every day on campus.” I believe building a parking lot to provide spots close to the building is an irresponsible use of resources. Students walk various distances to class every day. Faculty should not be provided with a new parking lot when spaces around campus already exist. Reallocating lots can give everyone on campus a place to park without building a new lot. The University needs to consider how building a parking lot will change the atmosphere of Cook campus, where the SEBS is mainly located. Even if an environmental-
ly friendly lot is built, those lots are costly. Students would rather see the additional funds from the Food Science Building go towards academics. I urge the Rutgers community to consider the necessity of a new parking lot. Marisa Beckett is a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences first-year student majoring in animal sciences.
University disregarding community opposition to new parking lot Ridiculous; opposed unanimously by the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Governing Council, 40 members, as well as the executive dean of Cook campus, and the expansion of Lot 97 into Skelly Field will still happen? The University cares that much for parking, even though the lot on the corner is never full. It’s pathetic that the needs of both the students and the respected leaders of a college are so disregarded. Rutgers has really dropped the ball. God forbid I find out when the construction is going to happen, I’ll be sitting in the field I’ve loved. Frank McQuarrie is a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences junior majoring in marine studies.

A statement from the athletic department said Athletic Director Julie Hermann contacted Jevon Tyree’s parents twice. ENRICO CABREDO / EDITOR-IN-CHIEF / MAY 2013
BULLYING Snyder said Cohen yells, but he never noticed bullying from defensive coordinator continued from front
“You yell in this game. You yell, and everybody gets yelled at every single level, all the way down to Pee Wees,” Snyder said. “I’ve never seen any kind of bullying comments. It’s all about pushing people to be their best.” But a larger issue than the alleged bullying itself is at hand. According to a University statement issued Friday, Athletic Director Julie Hermann spoke twice with Mark Tyree, Jevon’s father, resolving the issue to his satisfaction. The family is adamant it never got into contact with Hermann for further investigation of Cohen and challenges her to produce evidence, according to nj.com. “She cannot produce phone records,” Clarice Tyree, Jevon’s mother, told NJ.com Saturday. “Rutgers University cannot produce records demonstrating that Julie Hermann’s office tried to contact us and had any connection with us. They can’t do it.” Asked Saturday who is lying, Hermann told MyCentralJersey. com, “It’s not Rutgers athletics.” This is not the first time Hermann’s credibility was questioned. Upon being hired May 15, Hermann denied remembering a letter signed by members of the 1997 Tennessee volleyball team she coached, who claimed she imposed both mental and physical abuse that season. When directly asked by The Star-Ledger before Saturday’s game if she spoke to Mark Tyree, Hermann could not give a straight answer. “Yeah. Somebody — if it’s not him, who calls me and informs me of it?” she said. “Otherwise I wouldn’t know about it. So I’m not trying to call — I’m not trying to use big words like the words he’s using, but I’m informed by him, to my knowledge. If it’s not him, who’s calling me?” So even if Hermann is telling the truth, she failed to verify the identity of the person she spoke with on the phone on two occasions. There is another glaring inconsistency between the University’s statement and the Tyree family as well.
The athletic department stated Cohen apologized to Jevon Tyree the day after, but Jevon Tyree claimed yesterday Cohen never formally showed remorse. “He shot me a text saying, ‘Jevon, call me back when you can,’ or something like that,” Jevon Tyree told NJ.com. “I just didn’t respond to the text. I was obviously mad. I didn’t want anything to do with him at the time after he did that.” Clarice Tyree said yesterday on ESPNews the family does not demand anyone on the coaching staff be fired and just wants Jevon Tyree to be able to finish the academic year on scholarship. Despite the initial allegations coming less than 24 hours prior to the team’s blowout loss to Cincinnati, the Knights insist they were not distracted. Yet at the same time, they refuse to reveal transparency on Cohen’s treatment of Jevon Tyree. Sophomore free safety Tejay Johnson admitted he was not surprised at Jevon Tyree’s decision to leave and wished him well but remained mum on the rest of the allegations. “He wasn’t happy,” Johnson said, “but no comment on the rest of it. Anything that has to do with coach Cohen, no comment on that.” Freshman cornerback Nadir Barnwell, meanwhile, insisted he never got the sense Jevon Tyree wanted to leave, despite the two being close teammates. “We were very close,” Barnwell said. “[He] was my friend. We played against each other in high school, so I knew him in high school. We were close here, but he seemed fine to me.” Head coach Kyle Flood deferred to the department’s statement when asked three separate questions on the allegations in his postgame press conference. Though when asked about possible mental lapses during the game, Flood did not tr y to downplay the impact of the situation. “I think it would be naïve to say that there wasn’t a certain degree of distraction that happened to us over the last day or so,” Flood said. “We have to do a better job of handling that. No one feels sorr y for you for that. Things are going to happen, and the situation that we’ve been dealing with over the last 24 hours is one where we have to do a better job of handling it and not allowing it to be a distraction for us.”

November 18, 2013 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL RUTGERS 59, LASALLE 57
Forward sinks game-winning layup as time expires By Greg Johnson Associate Sports Editor
With 15 minutes left in the second half yesterday, the Louis Brown Athletic Center went silent. Junior forward Betnijah Laney took a hard fall on the baseline and lay in agony with her right knee buckled. As trainers helped her off the court, she was unable to put pressure on her right foot and did not return. Without their leading rebounder, the Scarlet Knights faced a war of attrition with LaSalle. Two largely stagnant offenses struggled to distance themselves, but Rutgers sunk
the game-winning layup with 0.5 seconds to prevail, 59-57. After sophomore guard Precious Person converted the first of two free throws with 30.5 seconds left to tie the game, the Knights gained possession on a jump ball on the miss, setting the stage for late heroics. Junior point guard Syessence Davis received a pass from Person and milked the clock at the top of the key. With time ticking away, she drove into the lane and found junior power forward Christa Evans alone in the post for the game winner. “I saw my defender go up on her a little bit, so we had just enough
space so she could pass the layup,” Evans said. “She’s very good at seeing the open player in the open court and made a great pass.” With sophomore forward Rachel Hollivay out with a concussion and sophomore forward Ariel Butts also sidelined with injury, Evans was one of two Knights who had to step up down low. Junior forward Alexis Burke also saw extended burn, contributing 8 points — all in the second half — three rebounds and an assist in 23 minutes. “Alexis is an experienced player, and it meant a lot,” Stringer said. “The good thing we take away
from this game is we demonstrated — it was an ugly game, true — … but I think that because each of them know who is playing in the same position and what their backup is, they’re coming together truly as a team.” For the Knights, it culminated an afternoon’s grind. After leading by double figures for much of its first two contests, Rutgers’ largest lead against LaSalle was 6 points. The Knights struggled to generate efficient scoring in the half court against the Explorers, often settling for jumpers and forcing ill-advised passes through the lane. Rutgers finished with a sea-
son-high 24 turnovers. “It was just more so being patient, and I feel like sometimes we were kind of rushing it because of the momentum of the game and we started to lose our focus,” Davis said. “The zone wasn’t really bothering us. It was more so us, so we just needed to take charge of our game and play our game the way we should’ve. We kind of played a little sloppy, but we can clean it up.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s basketball team, follow Greg Johnson on Twitter @GregJohnsonRU.

WRESTLING RUTGERS 16, BOSTON UNIVERSITY 15
Redshirt freshman seals victory in Rutgers’ home opener By Bradly Derechailo Associate Sports Editor
Phil Bakuckus, at 174 pounds, understood the Rutgers wrestling team’s fate came down to his performance against Boston University’s Colin Saunders. Whether he pulled through was another story. “I wasn’t expecting that at all honestly,” Bakuckus said. “I didn’t think it was going to come down to me, but that happens, so I just had to keep my mind clear and wrestle.”
The redshirt freshman wasted no time in securing the Scarlet Knights’ (2-0) 16-15 victory yesterday afternoon at the College Avenue Gym, collecting one take down and one reversal to defeat Saunders, 7-0. Bakuckus registered his takedown with a minute remaining in the first period, grabbing Saunders’ legs and driving him into the mat. That was all Bakuckus needed, as the Hammonton, N.J., native dominated the rest of the match, collecting more than three minutes of riding time during the three periods.
But Goodale said the win shouldn’t have come down to Bakuckus, and at one point it looked as if the Terriers (0-1) would escape with a comeback victory. Down 13-6 after senior 133-pounder Vincent Dellefave registered a 5-4 decision, Boston rattled off four straight wins to take a 15-13 lead. “There’s a lot of work to do,” Goodale said. “We just didn’t look really sharp and looked tired.” One grappler who did not look tired was sophomore heavyweight Billy Smith.
Smith delivered a 4-1 victor y against Kevin Innis, who at No. 14 according to InterMat, defeated Smith at last year’s NCAA Championships. Tied 1-1 in the middle of the third period, Smith took a shot at Innis’ right leg and corralled him to the ground as more than 1,300 fans in attendance roared “two!” Rutgers did not let go of a victory against the Terriers, who early this year announced their wrestling program will be cut from varsity competition.
Luckily for the Knights, they had Bakuckus to secure a victory against a team who is competing to save their program’s existence. “Boston came in here and wanted to win,” Bakuckus said. “Obviously, their program is being cut and that’s all I saw them tweeting about, but a lot of [our] kids wrestled good.” For updates on the Rutgers wrestling team, follow Bradly Derechailo on Twitter @Bradly_D.

SHREDS Peele’s fourth-quarter interception is one of Rutgers’ only bright spots in defeat continued from back er one Gar y threw a little early,” said head coach Kyle Flood, who lost his voice. “The decision was correct, but the timing of it was of f, unfor tunately. I think he’d like to have that one back.” Cincinnati quar terback Brendon Kay, meanwhile, threw 24-for-38 for 405 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. Luallen threw the only interception as redshir t freshman cornerback Ruhann Peele stood in front of his receiver in the four th quar ter, 8 yards from the end zone, returning it 37 yards. Peele went for an interception earlier that drive and missed, but he still showed a smooth transition in his second game since switching from wideout. The bright spots end about there. Cincinnati even duped Rutgers special teams coordinator Joe Rossi twice, despite the Knights spor ting one of the allaround best special teams unit in the nation. Bearcats punter John Lloyd rushed for 14 yards on what Cincinnati head coach Tommy Tuber ville confirmed was a fake punt rather than a mid-play change. Senior wide receiver Quron Pratt nearly blocked him before Lloyd ran left early in
the second quar ter. No one could catch him before the sidelines, as the 237-pounder was far from the fastest Rutgers opponent ever. Cincinnati kicker Tony Miliano successfully placed an onside kick in the first quar ter right into wideout Max Morrison’s hands. Then the Bearcats marched toward their 24th point with 30 seconds left in the first quar ter. Rutgers allowed 256 yards in the first quar ter alone. Cincinnati “out-executed” and “out-coached” Rutgers, Flood said. The Bearcats’ staf f made Rutgers’ triumvirate of coordinators look faulty and players failed to mask it. A voiceless Flood looked into his players’ eyes postgame and noticed signs Rutgers could break through this massacre. Their play and coaching does not suppor t that yet. “If you have a good week of practice, it doesn’t guarantee you’re going to have a good game,” Flood said. “Unfor tunately today is an example of that for us. But what it does guarantee is you’re going to move in the right direction eventually, and I think we’re doing that.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Josh Bakan on Twitter @JoshBakan.

THIS WEEK’S SPORTS PENDULUM QUESTION

RU falls short in NCAA first round By Tyler Karalewich Staff Writer
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — Senior goalkeeper Jessica Janosz broke the Rutgers women’s soccer postgame huddle after a consoling speech from head coach Glenn Crooks. With tears developing, she was only able to sob the word “team.” The Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium was filled near capacity this past Saturday as 1,610 fans stood in excitement to watch the first round of the NCAA Tournament come down to penalty kicks. The Scarlet Knights displayed different emotion, as they fell, 3-0, to West Virginia in deciding penalty kicks after going scoreless for 110 minutes. Senior for ward Jonelle Filigno entered as the Knights’ last hope battling a knee injur y, having sat out the whole game. Her shot was saved after sophomore defender Erica Skroski’s and junior for ward Amy Pietrangelo’s shots also found the goalkeeper’s hands. The misses sealed the Knights’ fate after three Mountaineers buried their penalty kicks. The stage was different, but the feeling was all too familiar for the Knights. The finish marked the third consecutive Rutgers match decided by PKs, as the Knights previously lost in the AAC semifinals. The result was not just about finishing in the Knights’ third straight shootout — proving much more about the team. “We shouldn’t talk about the PKs with this team. We should talk about how well this team
represented the University,” Crooks said. “I thought we played ver y well and had the same effort we played with [in our past three games].” Janosz anchored Rutgers’ defense, saving nine shots and tallying her ninth shutout of the year. Janosz knows it was not all her own doing as she praised her teammates while holding back tears. “We have a great backline, and they have each other’s back and they have my back and vice-versa,” Janosz said. “I think they really put their hearts out there. They got down for tackles, got first and second balls and helped out.” West Virginia benefited from seeing Rutgers go to two shootouts before this game. “They had a big advantage of watching our games last week and knowing where our shooters would take it, although their goalkeeper came up with big saves and give her tons of credit,” Crooks said. During the two overtime periods, the only Knights scoring chance came off a free kick by defender Tricia DiPaolo. The seventh-year senior found sophomore defender Brianne Reed’s head, but Mountaineers goalkeeper Sara Keane saved it. Crooks diagnosed Rutgers’ scoring struggles as the main issue. “We had all clean sheets, so we haven’t been able to put the ball in the back of the net,” Crooks said. “We were really setting things up and getting close to putting the ball in the net, but this is our sport. The sport of soccer can come down to one goal.”
Do you support the athletic department raising single-game football ticket prices for Big Ten games to prevent opposing fans from buying too many tickets?
The chances for the Knights were slim in the first half, as they were outshot, 16-5 and 6-3 with shots on goal. Janosz and the Knights’ defense held strong. The Mountaineers’ first scoring opportunity came early, as they controlled possession for the opening minutes. The Rutgers box was crowded, and Reed had to defend a shot. Rutgers turned it around and limited West Virginia to 10 shots, including three on goal, in the second half and two over times. The Mountaineers’ last shot of regulation came in the 88th minute when for ward Kelsie Maloney had a one-on-one with Janosz. The senior made the save and sent the game to over time. DiPaolo played her last game but was proud of the team. “We were a solid defensive unit today,” DiPaolo said. “It’s tough — the overtimes, the traveling and the time of year when ever yone is getting sick. I’m proud of ever yone for overcoming that and battling through it with heart and strength.” There was no disappointment from the head coach, only satisfaction. “We played better football today than we had recently. The result is difficult, but I really enjoyed the experience,” Crooks said. “If this is the way we had to go out, we went out ver y well.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow Tyler Karalewich on Twitter @TylerKaralewich.

Cincinnati puts Rutgers’ year in undesirable standing, outsmarts Knights on offense, defense, special teams By Josh Bakan Sports Editor
Junior quar terback Gar y Nova’s face was blank in the locker room after the Rutgers football team’s 52-17 loss Saturday to Cincinnati. He lifelessly stared behind a flurr y of repor ters while pummeled with questions about the Cincinnati Bearcats’ (8-2, 5-1) massacre in Piscataway. “Their scheme didn’t make it dif ficult,” Nova said. “All credit to them, but that’s all us. We didn’t execute. They made the plays when they had the oppor tunity, but it’s not like they tricked us or anything like that.” The Scarlet Knights (5-4, 2-3) of fense was as listless as Nova postgame, the defense was manipulated and the special teams were outsmar ted.
Defensive coordinator Dave Cohen, centered in bullying allegations about former cornerback Jevon Tyree, saw his defense allow at least 49 points for the four th time this year. Cincinnati fullback Jordan Luallen capped a day of tricker y with a 34-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mekale McKay. McKay flexed in the end zone after stretching his hands over decent coverage behind freshman cornerback Anthony Ciof fi. Of fensive coordinator Ron Prince executed little besides rushes up the middle and shor t passes in the second half, despite Rutgers trailing, 38-7, at halftime. “We ran the ball a little bit more, opened up the play action a little bit more,” said sophomore wide receiver Leonte Carroo.
“We tried to get them. That’s how we tried to attack the second half.” Nova’s final drive went three-and-out. It included a dropped pass at junior wideout Brandon Coleman’s chest, a negative-4 yard carr y from junior running back Savon Huggins and Nova’s lefty completion to Huggins that Cincinnati killed at the line of scrimmage. Nova gunned it downfield more in the first half, but that turned grim quickly. The Don Bosco (N.J.) Prep product threw one of his two interceptions on the first play. He left in the four th quar ter for senior Chas Dodd after throwing 18-for-38 for 170 yards. “Both of those interceptions, one of them was a route that didn’t get broke of f at the right depth, and the othSee SHREDS on Page 14
